THE HISTORY OF ART IN SAN MIGUEL: Hidden treasures of the Parroquia

In previous articles I have spoken about the artwork within the parish church of Michael the  Archangel, the major church in the center of town. One can walk all about in the interior and admire  the many wonderful paintings and sculptures, many of them done by famous novo Hispanic artists of  the 18th and 19th century. However, there are areas of the church which are not easily accessible, they  are the private domain of the clergy, and may be visited only with permission.
