Abstract
Atlihuetzía "where the fall of the water" is located in the municipality of Yauhquemecan, Tlaxcala, Mexico. In the oldest Novohispanic references of the geographical relationship by Diego Muñoz Camargo (the Manuscript of Glasgow, Scotland) is found on a sheet of the entrance of Cortes with his people, received by Piltecutli and Acxotécatl, caciques of that town in 1519. He says that the convent was drawn up by Hernán Cortés later in 1523 and represents an important part in the history of the conquest since it was there where the first image of the virgin known as "the conqueror" was handed over for her veneration. The main objective of this work is to present the existing construction from its vestiges and history analyzing from an architectural perspective elements product of a syncretism that originated the tequitqui art, describing and analyzing the history of the construction, its aesthetic elements and characteristics. The methodology is descriptive and analytical. The results based on the analysis, theory and history of Architecture will be presented to review the existing construction in conjunction with the elements that are preserved from its beginnings to the present day and make up the former Franciscan convent of Santa María Atlihuetzía, today's sanctuary for children martyrs of Tlaxcala Mexico
