You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 184.73.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:41, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Church of San Bernardo''' (((lang-es|link=no|Iglesia de San Bernardo))) stands at the corner of Avenida 20 de Noviembre and Venustiano Carranza Street just south of the [[Zocalo]] or main plaza of Mexico City. It was part of a convent of the same name that was founded in 1636, but was closed along with all convents and monasteries during the [[La Reforma]] period in 1861. Currently, only the church remains of the convent complex.<ref name="oficial">((cite book |last=Horz de Via |first=Elena |title=Guia Oficial Centro de la Ciudad de Mexico |year=1991 |publisher=INAH-SALVAT |location=Mexico City |language=Spanish |isbn=968-32-0540-2 |pages=35–36 ))</ref>

The church was built between 1685 and 1687<ref>((cite web|url=https://fa.unam.mx/repentina/wordpress/wp-content/Newsletter/raices/RD12/decoracion_07.pdf|title=ARQUITECTURA Y DECORACÍON (magazine)|date=May 1938|volume=II|number=7|author=Manuel Toussaini|pages=29))</ref> in [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] style.

==Description==
The church was part of a convent of the same name which was sponsored by [[Juan Marquez de Orozco]], a merchant who left his fortune to the [[Roman Catholic Church|Church]] with the stipulation that the money be used to found a convent for the [[Cistercians|Cistercian]] Order.<ref name="oficial"/> After Orozo's death, [[José Retes de Largacha, Marquis of San Jorge]], became the convent's benefactor, purchasing the land for the church and convent. .<ref name="historic">((cite book |last=Galindo |first=Carmen |author2=Magdelena Galindo |title=Mexico City: Historic Center |year=2002 |publisher=Ediciones Nueva Guia |location=Mexico City |isbn=968-5437-29-7 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/mexicocityhistor0000unse/page/206 206] |url=https://archive.org/details/mexicocityhistor0000unse/page/206 ))</ref> The convent was founded in 1636, by three of Orozco's sisters and two other nuns, all from the Convent of Regina Coeli. .<ref name="oficial"/> The church was consecrated in 1690. In the 18th century, [[Miguel de Berrio y Saldivar, Count of San Mateo Valparaiso]], took charge of repair work, leading to the use of geometrically-cut tezontle stone. The church was rededicated in 1777 .<ref name="historic"/>

During the Reform period under [[Benito Juárez]], all monasteries and convents were closed and this convent was demolished, except for the church. Its demolition paved the way of the opening of the street that would become 20 de Noviembre.<ref name="oficial"/>

Much of the façade's surface is covered in [[tezontle]] a reddish, porous volcanic rock.<ref name="oficial"/> The decoration of the main façade of the church is what is called a "discreet" expression of the [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] style, meaning not all of the surface is covered in decoration, but the sections which do have them are done in that style. The work done on this church has been compared to the [[filigree]] done by [[silversmith]]s. Where the Baroque style really stands out is the profusion of decoration surrounding the niches; one of which holds an image of [[Bernard of Clairvaux|Saint Bernard]] and the other a figure of the [[Virgin of Guadalupe]]. This figure used to be on the opposite side of the church/convent, but when it was dismantled, it was moved here. The main architect of the church was [[Juan de Zepeda]] .<ref name="historic"/>

On the exterior is a bronze plaque that reads "Las Religiosas Concepcionistas del Convento del Dulcísimo Nombre de María del Glorioso San Bernardo. Fundado el 30 III 1636 in este Lugar, Celebramos 350 años de su fundación, 1986"<ref name="oficial"/>

The Church's interior has a neo-classic altar.<ref name="oficial"/>
