Ecumenical Chapel of Peace (Capilla Ecumenica La Paz) description and photos – Mexico: Acapulco. Detailed information about the attraction. Description, photographs and a map showing the nearest significant objects. The title in English is Capilla Ecumenica La Paz.
Photo and descriptionThe Chapel de la Paz, or in translation from Spanish – the Chapel of Peace, is considered the hallmark of Acapulco. An ancient mansion built in time immemorial was turned into a temple on the mountain. Until now, it has been preserved in a fairly decent condition. It is said that the idea of converting a residential building into a chapel came to the head of a wealthy local family, Troy, who thus wanted to honor the memory of his deceased heirs. According to the idea of the patron, the temple was intended for believers of all denominations. This tradition is still supported today. Many visitors are confused by the huge Christian cross in front of the temple. This religious symbol here serves as a kind of amulet. They say that he guards everyone who went to sea. There is also a belief that a 40-meter crucifix is the protector of Acapulco from all misfortunes. The chapel was opened to the general public not so long ago – in 1971. There are no lamps in this temple, so there are no evening and night services here. In front of the chapel, you can see another strange monument created by the master Claude Favier. It represents two hands folded in a prayer gesture. This is another symbol of worshiping God – anyone, regardless of religions. The monument was erected in 1972. Tourists like to take pictures next to him.

This modest, low house is located on the top of a mountain that rises above the city, so the chapel offers a magnificent view of the ocean and snow-capped mountains. There are always a lot of tourists here, since the ecumenical chapel of Peace is one of those attractions that are recommended for a must visit.

Descripción enviada por el equipo del proyecto.
Unos clientes que también visitaron la Capilla de la Estancia nos contactaron para hacerles una capilla privada en el terreno que habían comprado a lado de su casa de fin de semana en Cuernavaca. Querían una Capilla Ecuménica, o sea, no religiosa, una capilla para meditar.

Les había gustado la Capilla de la Estancia, pero querían algo más discreto, que no se viera desde su casa pero que fuera espectacular. Ellos se referían no a algo “formalmente espectacular”, si no mas bien, a algo espacialmente espectacular, algo similar al sentimiento al estar dentro de la Capilla de La Estancia.

Ahora… Si la Capilla de La Estancia celebra la vida y la Capilla del Atardecer lamenta la muerte, esta tercer capilla para meditar seria el punto medio entre la vida y la muerte; el punto de equilibro; un recorrido al interior del ser. Nos imaginamos una capilla enterrada, un nudo en el terreno. Al enterrarla lograríamos que fuera discreta.
En este proceso incluimos un elemento que fue vital en el proyecto “ el agua”.

Al incluir un espejo de agua al nivel del piso, logramos que desde la casa solo se alcanzara a apreciar una “intervención en el paisaje “ un pequeño riachuelo en el jardín. Sin embargo cuando te acercas puedes apreciar una rampa que baja de nivel en espiral y rodea la capilla. Al terminar el recorrido llegas al espacio central. Un óculo en el plato metálico que forma el espejo de agua nos permite ver el exterior a través del agua. Una fuente metálica con un gran cuarzo al centro es el reflejo del óculo en el piso.
