High in the cool hills, this colonial gem of cobblestone streets and picturesque churches inspires artists with its color, character and light. Baroque, neoclassical and neogothic mix in the city's buildings, notably at the pink stone 18th-century church on the Plaza Principal. Founded in 1542, the city is a mix of Hispanic and Mesoamerican influences.

This 18th-century church, built in the architectural style called churrigueresque, contains several pieces of well-known art.
Identified as the state of the art construction , this highly adorned church completed in 1799 and was originally associated with St. Anthony, the patron of lost causes..identified with Spanish Baroque “”decorative style”” the outside of this church is visually striking..neoclassical structure..as a contrast, the inside of the Church of San Francisco has a more simple design..the courtyard offers seating opportunities and activities seem to be regularly present..on the west side of this square is the Iglesias de San Francisco with a bell tower in a faded white format..

This 17th-century church was built only after a protracted struggle to gain the land where a church built by Indians had previously stood.
For me, this Church dominates the area near the Plaza Civica and the east end of Calle Insurgentes..It is described as a domed baroque structure built in the 18th century..as one enters the oil paintings, the brilliant dome view invites much further exploration and a longer reflection of the beauty that is present..the squares just outside the church offer a variety of food opportunities... there are many times when street musicians, jugglers and other entertainment is present..there are many places to sit and take in this wonderful atmosphere...

This ornate 18th-century chapel is a reproduction of the Holy House in Italy that is said to be a replica of Mary's house in Nazareth.
This simple Franciscan chapel dates back to the early 18th century.
