Sumario:This essay presents the construction phases of the XVIth century church of El Carmen in Celaya, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. The initial building by Friar Andres de San Miguel, modifications by Eduardo Tresguerras, and later restorations culminating in 2006 are discussed in detail. Although the building is well known, there are few studies devoted to its building process, and the geological, social and architectural conditions it fa-ced. A close analysis of the actual buil-ding allows for detection of the work of its best known architects, as well as the successive restoration projects required for its conservation.
