Atotonilco was placed on the inaugural World Monuments Watch in 1996 and since then WMF has collaborated with Adopte una Obra de Arte, Guanajuato, on several conservation projects at the site. These include the restoration of the underchoir, the Rosary Chapel and its anteroom, the anteroom of the Apostles, the Chapel of the Saint Sepulcher, the polychrome wood chancel, the candle holders of the chapels of Calvary and Saint Sepulcher, the Chapel of Belen, and the Chapel of the Calvary. WMF is currently restoring the façade and three stone altars located in the main nave. The next steps will include conservation work at the choir, the Chapel of Gloria Escondida, the Chapel and Anteroom of the Virgin of Loreto, the Chapel of the Virgin de la Soledad, frames of the Chapel of El Calvario, and the easel paintings of the Chapel of Belen.
