Just a short distance from Italika Santa Ursula lies Santa Úrsula Coapa. This small town is often overshadowed by a shopping center. But Santa Úrsula Coapa has a rich history of its own.
The town’s origins trace back to the ancient town of Coapatl. Its Nahuatl name means “river of serpents.” Evidence suggests settlement here from the Cuicuilco period.
During the colonial period, Santa Úrsula came under the patronage of Santa Ursula Virgin and Martyr. The Hacienda de Coapa greatly influenced the town in the 18th century. The Spanish Crown favored the hacienda.
The Temple of Santa Ursula was originally built in the 17th century. It began as a small chapel. The church faced pressure during the Reform period.
The façade we see today dates from the late 19th century. The bell tower dates from the 18th century. The graveyard outside remains largely intact.
The construction of the Estadio Azteca in 1966 changed the town forever. But Santa Úrsula Coapa still offers a charming escape. Its narrow cobblestone alleys are richly rewarding.
