The building constructed by monks in the mid-1500s was flooded and disappeared underwater with the completion of a dam in 1966.

The ruins of a 16th century colonial church in Mexico have emerged from beneath the surface of a reservoir during a drought.

A lack of rain in the southern state of Chiapas (in Mexico) has seen levels in the man-made lake drop by 75 feet, revealing the remains of the building dating from the mid-1500s. The church was submerged in 1966 following the completion of the dam.
