Iglesia de la Medalla Milagrosa
My favorite unknown building in the city. Candela made concrete only centimeters thick span like a cathedral. Stand under the crossing and feel the geometry doing the work.
Félix Candela's hyperbolic-paraboloid church — thin concrete vaults that fold and soar like folded paper, a structural sermon most tourists never find.
