The centerpiece of Pueblo Viejo is the Kino mission
church La Purísima Concepción de Nuestra Señora de
Caborca, first completed in 1693. The church has
burned, been damaged by floods and been rebuilt over
the years, but it still retains its original charm.

Although the church is no longer active, services
are still held there Saturday evenings. A
prominent sight in Caborca, it is easily located, at
the southern end of the street Seis de Abril.

A local group is currently working to completely
restore the temple by the time of its bicentennial in
2009. Check out their website at
