The scape temple of Guadalajara

Among the tips that Boari gave, was to remove the dome in the Collado proposal, which included one with monumental dimensions. Thus, a tower attached to the facade was included progressing quite quickly in the construction of the temple, since this as in other buildings made during the porphyrat, it had a steel structure, lined with stone. They were able to build the facades to the molding above the large access porches, in addition to the interior columns.

There had been no inconvenience until the Mexican revolution left sequelae in the lack of economic solvency and social uncertainty. This was complicated so much for The death of Collado in 1909 at 50 years, as for Boari's departure to his homeland. When the armed uprising was already finishing, in 1919, the priest José Garibi asked the engineer Luis Ugarte to continue the work. Ugarte worked in it with relative little progress until 1927.

When the engineer Ugarte left the project, he inherited the work to the then 22 -year -old engineer Díaz Morales, who was quite confident. Díaz Morales accepted the proposal before the Archdiocese with the condition of making some important corrections, In addition to continuing the work using only stone cut as in the medievo. He did this because he believed that if he was going to create an anachronistic work, he had to do as originally carried out in his time.

He retained the facades of Italian Gothic – which tends to be little ornate – and continued them according to the Salvador Collado project, based on Adamo Boari's redtacks, including the tower. But inside it is where the greatest changes made: It knocked down the columns since they were quite simple and built new ones with a French Gothic style. They included ribs that do work structurally when receiving the loads of the new cross -cut roofs. DThe interior only retained the choir made by his teacher Luis Ugarte, that made it with a flat apparent concrete cover.
