Abstract

A brief description of the damages observed after the occurrence of the September 2017 earthquakes in some temples located in the states of Oaxaca, Puebla and Morelos is presented. A total of 48 temples were visited where we observed partial or total collapses of structural elements as: towers, roofs, buttresses, walls and arches in the temples. In some cases, the level of the damage was so severe that compromised the stability of the temples.
