The Villa Protectora de San Miguel el Grande and Sanctuary of Jesús Nazareno de Atotonilco is located in the north-central region of Guanajuato, which before the arrival of the Spanish was occupied by Chichimec Indians extending from Chamacuero to Guanajuato and San Felipe.

The La Quemada Bridge is located on the grounds of the former Hacienda San José de la Quemada, in the municipality of San Felipe, Guanajuato, on the way to Dolores Hidalgo. Both the origins of the hacienda and the bridge date back to the second half of the 16th century.

The San Miguel River, or La Laja, flowed nearly five kilometers from the Villa de San Miguel el Grande, now San Miguel de Allende.

The history of this building and its architectural qualities intrinsically illustrate the role played by monasteries during the spiritual conquest of the Gran Chichimeca area, and the acculturation processes of the Yuriria region. Visiting its different spaces provides inspiration and insights into life in a sixteenth-century monastery.
