Watching over Acapulco Bay from the region’s highest point, a 13-story white cross towers over the Chapel of Peace, drawing eyes from everywhere in the city. Born of a family’s personal tragedy, the nondenominational chapel and it’s monumental cross welcome the public to a space of serenity and introspection, promoting peace and brotherhood. Many come for, arguably, the best view in town (especially at sunset), but Acapulco has no shortage of breathtaking vistas. Deceptively simple in appearance, the architectural genius of the chapel itself, and the meticulously designed grounds on which it sits, are true treasures that can’t be found elsewhere in the city; these are why you must visit. Go earlier in the day to bypass the sunset photo frenzy and experience the whisper of this very personal space.
