Parroquia San Salvador

Each place has its essence and its history. Acajete cannot be left behind, with its simple but beautiful parish Right in the center and surrounded by historic buildings that are no longer seen in the region today. We invite you to take a detour on the Free Xalapa - Perote highway and enter this town and get to know it.

At some point in its history, the front of its church was remodeled, building a new tower without the same aesthetic features of the original nave, fortunately it still has its original tower hidden at its side in an obvious abandonment. There is almost null sacred art; This, like many churches in the region, has been plundered, buyers from the region, the country and even abroad are those who encourage this activity; Some portals that surround his church still wear the first painting of the town and transport us to the time of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In mid-1586 this town was formed, on one of the old boundaries of the manor of Tlacolulan. Decree No. 64 of November 3, 1893 extinguished the municipality of La Hoya, annexing its territory to San Salvador Acajete. On November 5, 1932, the San Salvador Acajete municipal seat changes its name to Acajete. From August 5 to 8, the Patron Saint Fiesta of Acajete is celebrated in honor of San Salvador. Located approximately 15 km from the capital, its limits are: to the north with Tlacolulan and Las Vigas de Ramírez.

Nice church, a beautiful place.
