Capilla de los Dulces Nombres


Enjoy the serenity of this pretty 19th-century church, watch a local wedding ceremony and then visit nearby attractions in the lively Macroplaza.

The Capilla de los Dulces Nombres is a quaint parish church, where you can admire a simple architectural design and watch religious ceremonies. Pause for a few moments to enjoy the air of tranquility at an otherwise busy intersection of downtown Monterrey.

Take time to appreciate the church’s unpretentious whitewashed design typical of the period. It has two small bell towers and a simple cross that crowns the church’s main entrance. Inside, the church maintains its humble style with two rows of pews, minimal decorations and a small altar adorned with religious icons. 

While visiting, you might be lucky enough to see a local marriage ceremony. Watch as friends and family members arrive dressed in traditional Mexican wedding outfits. The bride might wear a long, soft cotton dress with hand-stitched embroidery and ruffled skirt, a bolero or mantilla veil. Alternatively, visit on a Sunday to experience the church’s weekly mass, most likely in Spanish, but with some familiar Latin expressions. 

The church stands just off the eastern edge of Macroplaza, in the heart of downtown Monterrey. It’s a short walk from other major city attractions and is easily accessible via public bus and the metro. The closest metro station is Estación Zaragoza, which is less than a 5-minute walk away. If arriving by car, you’ll find metered parking on the street outside the church’s main entrance. 

After visiting the Capilla de los Dulces Nombres, you might want to visit other attractions located in the area. On the opposite side of the plaza is the Teatro de la Ciudad, a good place to watch predominantly Spanish-language ballets, operas and theatre performances. Enjoy a stroll around the animated Macroplaza, Monterrey’s central square, home to historic buildings, monuments, gardens and occasional concerts.
