The Santa Catarina Chapel lends its name to what is perhaps the best-known neighborhood in Coyoacán, outside of the Historic Center itself. It stands on the site of an original open-air chapel that was here during the 16th century. The structure we see today came to be at the turn of the 17th century, as the population in the area finally grew. It was long considered an indigenous parish, and it occupies an ancient Tepanec settlement area known as Omac.
