Crown on the tower of Our Lady of Guadeloupe Church, Puerto Vallarta

The crown was erected on the main tower in 1965. It had been drawn by the priest Rafael Castillo and was sculpted by JER Guadeloupe the same year.  It is not replica of one supposedly worn by Carlos mistress of Emperor Maximillian.  Weathered and eroded it was replaced in 1981, and the fell off following an earthquake in 1995.  At that time it was replaced by a fibreglass one.
