This beautiful, small church, somehow got lost in the middle of the chaos that Camino Real is. It's surrounded by restaurants, bars and shops. This is an island of tranquility that looks almost ridiculous on that street.
It's a tiny colorful church you should visit if you happen to be walking along Camino Real and you see it's open.

Parroquia de San Andres
- 16 de Septiembre at 3 Poniente
- Cholula
This Church was built in 1509 and is the most important one in San Andres Cholula. (Remember there are two Cholulas, San Andres and San Pedro) Its most famous feature is how tall the facade seems because of the slender towers at each side and how little ornaments it has.
Inside, the Church is like a museum. Dozens of paintings are shown along the main nave. The painting called La Trinidad (The Trinity) was made by the celebrated artist Pascuel Perez.
