The Buried Chapel
The ruins of what was the “Templo del Carmen” in Tlalpujahua, Michoacán. In 1937 an avalanche of debris from the “Las Dos Estrella” mine, buried almost half of the town. Only the bell tower and the altar survived. Today you can see the remains of all these waste, try to imagine the shape of the place based on excavations.
