 The atrium also contains a monument to the memory of “certain Spaniards who were murdered.”
On the west side of the complex, on the south side of both the Cathedral itself and its attached cloister is the capilla abierta (open chapel).This was one of the very first constructions of the Spanish built after Hernán Cortés choose Cuernavaca as a seat over his dominions.The chapel was originally bigger than what remains today.
