About

Santuario de los Mártires de Cristo Rey is a religious monument located in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico. This building was erected in honor of the Mexican martyrs who lost their lives during the Cristero War, an armed conflict between 1926 and 1929 (although some clashes continued into the early 1930s) in response to the anti-religious policies of the Mexican government. The Sanctuary of the Martyrs of Christ the King attracts numerous pilgrims and visitors, both national and international. It is a place of reflection, prayer, and tribute. The sanctuary is located in Cerro del Tesoro in Tlaquepaque, Guadalajara.
