The Beautiful Church of Salcoatitán
One of the most special things in Salcoatitán is its beautiful old church. This church was built a long time ago, at the beginning of the 19th century. It is made from strong materials like calicanto (a mix of lime and stone), tiles, and a sturdy roof. It has heavy supports made of bricks and stone.
The church is dedicated to a saint called San Miguel Archangel. Every year, the town celebrates a special festival in November to honor San Miguel Archangel. This festival is a time for fun, traditions, and community gatherings.
