The Church and Temple of the Society of Jesus the Preacher was built by the Jesuits in Guanajuato, Mexico, and is one of the largest Jesuit churches built in what was then New Spain. Its ornate facade stands out with three doors, and contains an important artistic heritage that includes works of sacred painting and sculpture. It is noteworthy that the Jesuits used the temple for only two years, as they were expelled in 1767 AD by decree of Carlos III (Carlos III), so the temple remained deserted between 1767 AD and 1794 AD, then the church moved to the Chapel complex of San Felipe Neri, and reopened in 1794 AD.
