Barrio de Mexicaltzingo y El Puente de las Damas, Gudalajara 4K

Mexicaltzingo Neighborhood and the Ladies' Bridge
Guadalajara 4K Walking Tour
Mexicaltzingo is one of the Indian towns founded along with Guadalajara in 1542. The oldest chronicle (1742), written by Fray Antonio Tello in chapter CXLIV, book two, volume two of his Miscellaneous Chronicle of the Holy Province of Jalisco, wrote: "Some Mexican Indians settled in some springs and waterholes, which had come with Viceroy Don Antonio de Mendoza, and they named the town Mexicaltzingo."

In 1821, Mexicaltzingo was declared a neighborhood along with Mezquitán and Analco, subject to the Guadalajara City Council. These ancient villages were soon incorporated into the urban structure as "old neighborhoods." During this period, "it was characterized by being an area inhabited by rural-urban workers, saddlery workshops, tanneries, and numerous services demanded by the growing city. By 1830, the jurisdiction of this parish accounted for 15 percent of the city's population."

From the early years of its founding, a chapel dedicated to Saint John the Baptist operated. The Christ, known as the Lord of Penitence, had been in the Convent of Saint Francis since 1585, and at the beginning of the 18th century, it was given to an indigenous person who took it to the nuns of Jesús María to have it refurbished. It was there, according to tradition, that after a resplendent light appeared, the image was retouched. Therefore, the Holy Mitre of Guadalajara ordered its transfer to the chapel of the Temple of Saint John the Baptist in Mexicaltzingo. Fray Antonio Alcalde organized the expansion of the old chapel, donating the sum of six thousand pesos for a short-lived construction. It was Bishop Alcalde who erected it as a parish on June 28, 1781; a census taken in July 1781 reported 3,655 residents.
