Santa Prisca Church, formally the Parroquia de Santa Prisca y San Sebastián, is a colonial church on the east side of the main plaza in Taxco de Alarcón, Guerrero, Mexico. Built between 1751 and 1759 at the order of mine owner José de la Borda, it is considered one of the finest examples of New Spanish Churrigueresque architecture and was designed by Diego Durán. From 1758 to 1806 it was the tallest building in Mexico. It holds tentative World Heritage Site status.
