In 1754, the sisters of the Company of Mary entered a convent dedicated to the Virgin of the Pilar de Zaragoza in Mexico City. The temple is attributed to Francisco de Guerrero y Torres (1779) and the convent and school were the work of Ignacio Castera (1805). The beautiful interior of the temple is a great example of the novohispanic Baroque of the 18th century. Within the façade stands a the sculpture of the Virgin of Pilar carved in alabaster.
