Description
This distant shot from a rooftop shows the tower of the parroquia or parish church of San Miguel/St. Michael the Archangel has become a representative icon of the city of San Miguel de Allende, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, A UNESCO world heritage site, It is located in the Plaza Principal, where a church first was built in the mid 1500s. Between 1880 and 1890, master stonemason Don Zeferino Gutierrez built a new facade according to one of the artistic styles of the time, inspired by the great architectural works of Gothic style in Medieval Europe. The purple flowers in the foreground are bougainvillia and I think the orange is the top of a poinciana tree.
