In the neighborhood of Coyoacan and surrounded by beautiful trees is the square of Santa Catarina. Breathe in it an atmosphere of tranquility that reflects the picturesque in the area. The chapel dates back to the 16th century and is dedicated to Santa Catarina of Siena; it was a chapel open for Indians, where the indigenous people of the area were served by an order of Franciscan friars.

"Yosemite Chapel on the valley floor. I like the view with the falls in the background. You have to go behind the church to get this shot, be careful of the marshy area, you will get wet. :-) ". Taken by Dale Carlson

"This looks like a Norwegian Church, but what is that writing on the side...? That's not Norwegian, it's Welsh! Why - because in 1869 it was built in Bute Docks in Cardiff by Scandinavian seamen (having been brought piecemeal from Norway by sea) as a place of worship for the seamen and their families. In 1987 it was moved, again piecemeal, and reconstructed on its present site in Cardiff Bay where it now houses a Norwegian Style cafe and Art Centre". Taken by Elliott
