Centro Cultural Ignacio Ramírez “El Nigromante”
Don Manuel de la Canal, cinco años antes de su muerte hizo su testamento el 8 de Octubre de 1744, dejándole a su hija mayor la cantidad de 70,000 pesos de herencia; como aún era pequeña, lo mismo que sus hermanas, su padre los dejó al cuidado, en exquisita y rara tutoria de La Virgen de Loreto, nombrando como curador al Conde de Casa Loja, Don Francisco José de Landeta. La joven huérfana quedó rica y sintiendo deseos de la quietud y solead del claustro, dio reunciación y abandono del mundo, impelida sobre todo por el ambiente de su casa, sus lecturas y su época decidió fundar un monasterior de religiosas Concepcionistas en su Villa natal. A su confesor, el padre Luis Felipe Neri de Alfaro le hizo saber su firme decisión de fundar un convento de Monjas en San Miguel, dando todo el dinero que se necesitare y siendo ella la primera en tomar el hábito.

La construcción del conjunto se debió a que a muy temprana edad la hija primogénita de Don Manuel de la Canal, en el calor de sus devotos padres se aficionó por las prácticas piadosas y dotadas de un alma

llena de religiosidad, no es extraño que a los 15 años quisiera entrar en un convento. Contada queda la realización de su deseo por lo que María Josefa Lina de Canal profesó el día 2 de febrero de 1757, con el nombre de Sor María Josefa de la Santísima Trinidad y esperó a que su convento fuese terminado.

El claustro principal fue Colegio de instrucción primaria llamado de Santa Cecilia y después de La Asunción. En 1912 se dedicó a colegio de Señoritas dirigido por monjas españolas; en 1914 se clausuró el colegio y se ocupó como cuartel, después fue escuela de Bellas Artes y ahora es el centro cultural Ignacio Ramírez dependiente del INBA.

La plaza fue construida en el año de 2004 con recurso de pueblos mágicos elaborada a base de piedra de pórfido, dicho espacio no contaba con un pasillo peatonal por lo que se proyecto la plaza para darle mejor jerarquía al edificio liberando la fachada de contaminación visual, ya que anteriormente su uso era de estacionamiento público y de ma aspecto.
