Gothic in the Colonial Americas
There are late-Gothic architecture from the era in some of the oldest Christian churches built in the Americas. Few examples can be mentioned as the Basilica Cathedral of Santa María la Menor in Santo Domingo built between 1514–1541, the building is mainly Gothic and is the oldest cathedral in the Americas; and the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral, started to built in 1573, which retains Gothic elements as the two vaults of the sacristy and the vaults covering the chapter house; Other example is the San Gabriel Franciscan Convent in Cholula, Metropolitan area of Puebla, Mexico, the exterior and interior are partially Gothic although the tower is Baroque, was built between 1540s–1550s. In the field of the Civil Gothic architecture, a notable example is the Palace of Cortés in Cuernavaca, Mexico, built between 1523-1528, is the oldest conserved Colonial-era civil structure in the continental Americas, the palace has a style that blends Gothic and Mudéjar.

There is also much late-Gothic Plateresque architecture throughout Mexican territory. Also, there are several churches of the World Heritage Site by UNESCO with the name Earliest 16th-century monasteries on the slopes of Popocatépetl that are Plateresque Gothic.

Contested deletion

 * If you're willing to look after the article, then I see no reason why the G5 tag shouldn't be removed. However, (or somebody else) will need to check for copyright violations & unattributed copying in light of Contributor copyright investigations/Vvven. 16:31, 15 May 2024 (UTC) GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 16:31, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Totally in agreement. And whatever violations are found, I am happy to rework the content according to Wikipedia standards. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 18:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Good news! It was just a poorly attributed copy of the esWiki page, as professed in the translation template.(Vvven didn't always use them correctly, and was known to insert copyrighted material alongside an unattributed translation if they felt the esWiki article wasn't good enough). I've repaired the attribution, but further rewriting should not be needed. At least, not for copyright infringement. I haven't checked the accuracy of their machine translation.

 * Oh that is good news! I happen to be bilingual in English/Spanish, I have no problem combing over the en.wiki and the es.wiki articles for possible inconsistencies. Thank you for the update! Best, Cristiano Tomás (talk) 14:33, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
