Architect lovers make pilgrimages to this Luis Barragan-designed convent and chapel, opened in 1960. And while the exteriors are unremarkable, Barragan’s interiors are a masterpiece. Less visited than his house and studio, the convent "is unique," says Mexico City hotelier Samuel Leizorek. “It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen—and completely unexpected. Even though it’s small, the intimacy of what Barragan was able to do with the play of light and color is one of his most special projects.”
Visits are by appointment only, with a guide.
