The Former Convent of San Francisco de Tepeapulco was the first religious building established by the Franciscans in the state of Hidalgo. The complex includes a church and an adjoining chapel. Its façade features a beautiful Plateresque-style portal with an arch, jambs, and alfiz decorated with plant motifs. Above the entrance is a bas-relief, and a small niche can be seen atop the alfiz. To one side of the façade stands the atrial cross, carved with symbols of the Passion of Christ.
