Had the chance to visit this site many years ago and was disappointed.
A much better bet is to do a free, self guided walking tour of Barragan's early Tapatia works in Guadalajara.
It takes you on an approximately two hour walk around the Colonia Americana where you can see his evolving style.
You can visit the Gonzalez Luna (Jesuit University) House, the Casa Cristo House and the Casa Franco for free..
You can find this tour by searching for: "Revisiones de Guadalajara".

What can be written of one of the most wonderful art WHS in the world? Giotto's magnum opus. The paintings are of the highest quality...luminous, serene, emotive...fantastic! For lovers of 13th/14th century Italian proto-Renaissance art, this chapel is a must see.
Limited to small groups and short visits (15 minutes). Early morning, midweek visits preferable as they give best chance of securing on line tickets. Arrive prior to your scheduled visit time by about 20 minutes. Orientation video prior to visit.
