Mascota - Nuestra Senora de los Dolores Church

Across from the plaza, the town of Mascota's main church is in pristine condition. Outside is a large statue dedicated to the 20th-century martyr and local hero, the priest José María Roble, killed by Mexican soldiers during the Cristero Revolt and canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2000.

Mascota - The Unfinished Temple of the Precious Blood

The Temple de la Preciosa Sangre is an unfinished ruin of a church that was to be built in the late 1800's for the local residents of the town who had been pushed out of the central church by the Spaniards. Its entrance is framed in a Roman arch; its neoclassic altarpiece is one of the best in the region. It also contains a two-storey seminary in an exquisitely beautiful setting.
