Culture
The Hacienda Demiñho ruins is on the road that connects Tezontepec de Aldama with Tunititlán. It is semi-abandoned and in ruins. Some of the spaces are used to store fodder and as a barn by the people of the region. It has a great aesthetic value that can be seen in the main nave of the chapel and its bell tower with a conical body and a destroyed altar in the front wall.
