beautiful Baja churches


A really nice photo thread going on ("It's just the desert") in the trip reports forum. Wondered if we could start another photo thread with our favorites. . . beautiful Baja churches.

This is the church at San Roque (north of Bahía Asunción).

Wonderful concept.

Here's Santa Rosalillita's entryway:

At San Ignacio next to the town square.


Here's one of my first visited ...and still a favorite part of Baja history.

The majestic church of San Ignacio de Loyola rises at the front of this very welcoming plaza.

We took a tour of the San Roque church, also, güéribo. Some history there about a fire, too. Here's some other views.

I was surprised when Shari posted the rebuilding of that church the other day.

Here are photos I took in 2007 there...

Love this one. I was expecting either Clint Eastwood or The Duke riding a Palomino past the entrance.
