The side of a church damaged by an earthquake and currently being remodeled and repaired. Notice a few missing roof tiles.

The same side of the church seen from inside the fence. Notice water damage to the paint at the bottom of the walls. This was caused by a roof that lacked gutters.

Small mock bell-enclosures flanked the plaza in front of the church. Those enclosures have gathered an impressive collection of graffiti.

The front of the church showed three different kinds of building design. The more ornate in the center was probably the original church.

The center of the church appeared almost finished, but the edges were still cluttered with scaffolding and still undergoing repair.

A man high up on a wooden scaffolding used a paint brush to re-touch the gold details at the top of one of the entry columns.

A simple sign on the plaza in front of the church was cast in metal but painted to appear hand carved from wood.

The left front side of the church with its metal fencing and gates to prevent wrongful entry. Notice the sad state of the paint here.

A highly detailed and exquisite example of religious art was protected by a wrought iron steel fence and gate. The tile work inside was in perfect condition.

A blazing sun was mounted on the back of the church interior high up on the central wall.

The interior of the church viewed from just inside the left central doorway.

In the rear right corner of the church, construction was still underway.

Along the rear central wall was this finished display, accented with artificial flowers.

Stacked against the rear left corner wall were materials not yet used for the repair project.

A slightly smaller than life sized Christ figure in effigy was on display in a box set against an interior column.
