Parochial Church of Santísima Trinidad

This 1892 built church with Neo Classical façade has four aisle interior and a Neo Gothic altar dedicated to the Virgin of Mercy. But the real attraction of this place is an 18th century wooden statue “Lord of the True Cross” made in Spain for a church in Vera Cruz which left Barcelona´s port in 1731 but three times the ship was driven by strong winds to the port of Casilda, 6 km from Trinidad. On its fourth attempt to reach Mexico the ship´s captain decided to leave behind part of the cargo which includedthe statue of Christ. Locals believed this was a signal from heaven becoming an object of worship.
