1. Gothic Architecture can only be found in Europe, anything elses outside of this area, is a copy. Gothic Architecture is from a germanic tribe known as the Goths.
2. No one was building Gothic architecture in Mexico during the medieval period with which Gothic architecture is associated in Europe. However, the style in one form or another has been used for many churches since then, in many places. On the first site below, you'll see a rather odd 19th-century version in Mexico. The Cathedral in Guadalajara is a Renaissance-style building with neo-gothic towers.
3. Just look at the churches. I believe it is Gothic. Did you know there are lots of tunnels underneath? That's when I had my first communion year ago. Enclosed are some websides: search resultsGuadalajara City Guide - Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico Guadalajara's Cathedral. Photo by Pablo de Aguinaco courtesy of the Mexican Tourism Board ... Guadalajara's international airport is the Don Miguel Hidalgo y ... Oops. Didn't come out as webside. Look anyhow.
4. To find that type of architecture look at; Guadalajara in Jalisco/Cathedral de la Asuncion de Hermosillo (I think that these are the same but I don't speak Spanish), Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral, Temple de San Agustin, San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato, Many of the old religious building built by the Spanish used Gothic architecture but often times other styles were mixed into a building.
