Last night my wife and I went to an orchestra concert in the Iglesia de San Juan Bautista de Ojojona. I took a few photos of the church in the evening before the concert. Ojojona is one of the oldest towns in Honduras, founded in 1579, or thereabout. This church was built in 1823 on the site of an older Spanish church.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Nice photos all. They remind me quite a bit of the San Xavier mission in Tucson, Arizona.

Having lived in Arizona for many years, I'm very familiar with the San Xavier Mission on the Papago reservation south of Tucson. I believe the San Xavier mission is bigger, though.
Most of the Spanish-style churches here in Honduras have the same basic architecture, though dramatically different in the details. All three old churches in Ojojona are white, as are most Spanish churches and cathedrals, but the cathedral in Comayagua and the Cathedral of Saint Michael Archangel in Tegucigalpa are a beautiful peach color. The Basilica de Suyapa in Tegucigalpa is white trimmed in dark blue. All are gorgeous.
I have photos of all, if anyone would like to see.
Thanks for your reply, and thanks to all.
Beautiful set of interesting pictures!
Great set, number two is my favorite.
Beautiful series. Thanks for posting.
