The Church of Jesus of Nazareth, a Catholic temple situated in Mexico City's Historic Center, was built between the 17th and 18th centuries, with later additions in the 19th century. Notable for housing José Clemente Orozco's mural "Apocalypse," it also contains the remains of Hernán Cortés and preserves the original facade of Mexico's first Cathedral, a rare relic from the 16th century in the area. Recognized as a historic monument in 1932, this temple shares an intertwined history with a hospital of the same name.

Initially established under the invocation of the Immaculate Conception around 1524 by Hernán Cortés, the hospital has been associated with the temple since its inception. The church's construction was a protracted process initiated by Pedro Vázquez, continued by Alonso Pérez de Castañeda, and finally completed by Antonio de Calderón Benavides in 1688. The tower's construction concluded in 1704, yet it endured damages from earthquakes in 1712, necessitating subsequent repairs.

The temple's architectural evolution has been significant. It saw the replacement of its original Baroque altar with a neoclassical one in 1792, dismantled in 1939. Additionally, the architect José Besozzi constructed a Renaissance-inspired side facade in the 19th century.

The heritage of the Church of Jesus of Nazareth encompasses the transferred Renaissance facade from the first Cathedral of Mexico, relocated to this temple in 1691. Furthermore, it includes an unfinished mural by José Clemente Orozco, portraying the Apocalypse and the horrors of World War II, which sustained damage during the Puebla earthquake of 2017.
