Parroquia de Nuestra Señora del Socorro y San Pablo Apóstol. It's located in Yuriria, Guanajuato, Mexico. Built in the XVI C. under the order of the Augustinians; according to Kubler (1943) it's one of the portentous examples of gothic architecture in Mexico.

In the outside is colossal. Augustinians had this custom of being ambitious over their architectural enterprises —as oposed to Franciscans, whom buildings were more humble. This ambition sometimes lead to failure so for they didn't care about context, say, planned everything that big in size that sometimes both materials and workforce was scarce. Yet Yuriria's convent went prosperous thanks, in part, because of Yuriria's lake natural resources.
