The Santiago de Jalpan mission, located in the Sierra Gorda region of Querétaro, Mexico, is one of the five Franciscan missions founded by Junípero Serra in the mid-18th century. Built between 1751 and 1758, this mission stands as a remarkable example of the intricate Baroque art and architecture that blends indigenous and European influences. The facade of the mission is particularly notable for its elaborate and symbolic ornamentation, featuring a mix of religious iconography and local motifs.
