Built by the Jesuits in the 17th century, the church of Batopilas unfortunately lost much of its history due to two fires in the historical archive, so only a few documents have been preserved.

The town of Batopilas, in addition to its natural beauty, was distinguished by its abundance of silver. It was intensely exploited before and during Mexico’s Independence, which attracted numerous people who settled in the area, amazed by the wealth that gleamed on its hillsides.
