By orders of Monsignor Ramón Ibarra y González, the construction of the large Chilapa temple was ordered. It was destroyed by a fire in 1930. The then-bishop of Chilapa ordered Federico Mariscal [es] to oversee its reconstruction, who resumed the construction and finished the church.

The cathedral of Chilapa became the fourth most important cathedral in the country.^{[citation needed]}
