Church of San Francisco Acatepec is a colonial religious building, characteristic of the Mexican Baroque architecture, especially recognized for its facade of Talavera mosaics combined with red brick.

The ceramic of the church was handmade between the years 1650 and 1750, in the time when the Pueblan Talavera became part of the main decoration of the Baroque buildings of the region.

[5] In 1946, director Emilio Fernández chose the Church of San Francisco Acatepec as one of the locations for the film Enamorada, starring María Félix and Pedro Armendáriz.

It has small stylistic estipite pilasters attached to the facade completely covered with azulejos, as well as the salomonic columns found in the only tower of the church.

Everything in it is color and brightness.Vargas Lugo said that the facade does not follow traditional forms, because in addition to the estipite pilasters, it has a star-shaped oculus and moulded cornices in the style of the last 18th century Baroque.

[13] Manuel Toussaint said that the tower is covered with a maiolica that, like the facade, has Baroque guidelines, and that it has very outstanding decorative elements inside the church.

Ciancas said that ”the naïve and popular note given by countless defuras of little angels that populate the salomonic columns of the altars appears", which were renewed after a fire in the interior.

[8] Highlights the work with plaster with the Image of the Incarnation and the Birth of the Son of God, with elements of the Holy Trinity and a radiant sun.

[10] Other plaster images of the interior represent angels, cherubs, sexless children, as well as three golden reredos on the three walls, including the altar.
