Few examples can be mentioned as the Basilica Cathedral of Santa María la Menor in Santo Domingo built between 1514–1541, the building is mainly Gothic[2][1] and is the oldest cathedral in the Americas;[1] and the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral, started to built in 1573,[10] which retains Gothic elements as the two vaults of the sacristy and the vaults covering the chapter house;[3] Other example is the San Gabriel Franciscan Convent in Cholula, Metropolitan area of Puebla, Mexico, the exterior and interior are partially Gothic[6][7] although the tower is Baroque, was built between 1540s–1550s. In the field of the Civil Gothic architecture, a notable example is the Palace of Cortés in Cuernavaca, Mexico, built between 1523-1528,[4] is the oldest conserved Colonial-era civil structure in the continental Americas, the palace has a style that blends Gothic and Mudéjar.[5]

There is also much late-Gothic Plateresque architecture throughout Mexican territory. Also, there are several churches of the World Heritage Site by UNESCO with the name Earliest 16th-century monasteries on the slopes of Popocatépetl that are Plateresque Gothic.[9]
