The Church of Santa Prisca by far one of the most striking sights is the example of the Baroque style of Mexico in the mid-eighteenth century. It is located in a conservation Taxco, Guerrero state, on the Central square. Its construction at the city's main square was begun in 1751 and completed seven years later. Originally the Church was built as a place of service of the priest Manuel de La Borda. Construction was under the guidance of two French architects Diego durán and Spanish Cayetano.

The temple is built of pink stone, has two graceful, richly decorated tower, no less sumptuous facade, which faces West. The Church has nine wooden altars covered with gold leaf. Here is the altar of the Immaculate Conception, the altar of our lady of Guadalupe and our lady of the rosary. Inside all the walls are decorated with beautiful paintings.

Santa Prisca in the history of Mexico is a symbol of the era of dawn and enrichment, which is directly connected with the beginning of silver mining in the mountains in the district of Taxco. The Church was built with the money of the silver magnate josé de La Borda. A rich and complex interior architecture require a lot of money, and after seven years one of the richest people in New Spain was bankrupt.

Near the Church is full of shops where they sell silver items.
