Did you know there’s an unfinished church near Guadalajara that’s a historical and cultural gem you should check out?
That’s right, right in the heart of the magical town of Mascota, you’ll find the ruins of the Unfinished Temple of the Precious Blood of Christ.
A 20th-century structure that promised to become one of the region’s most important Neo-Gothic churches, but was never completed.
Its construction was interrupted by the conflicts of the Mexican Revolution and, later, by the Cristero War.
