About this audio guide
This guide to the Regina Coeli parish in Mexico City starts with two walls on one street corner, one repaired and one not, and a church that has been fighting a long, quiet battle on the ground it was built on. Along the way you meet the seventeenth-century patron who paid for the Conceptionist nuns' first church, a second donor who paid the very same sum decades later, and Felipe de Ureña's altar to the Virgin of the Fountain. Best heard standing outside at the corner of Regina and Bolívar streets.
