Catedral de Morelia

Reviewed By vagabondginger - San Diego, United States

Construction of this cathedral began in 1660 and was completed in 1744 - yes, 84 years later. The towers are towering - over 200 feet high. The organ inside is impressive. This pink stone cathedral is a Unesco World Heritage Site. It is the city's shining star.

Well deserved UNESCO world heritage site!. Built in the 16th century, Morelia is an outstanding example of urban planning which combines the ideas of the Spanish Renaissance with the Mesoamerican experience.

La Biblioteca Publica Gertrudis Bocanegra

Reviewed By jwycoffmex - Ajijic, Mexico

Murals are complex bits of visual history. My guide, Jaime Hernández with Pátzcuaro Magic Tours explained the mural to me and helped me see things I would never have seen otherwise.

Plaza Vasco de Quiroga

The larger of the two major downtown plazas in Patzcuaro.

Reviewed By susanaquerida - Vancouver, Canada

A large plaza with tourist services surrounding it, this Zocalo is very pretty. It was being decorated while we were there just before Christmas. Unfortunately we didn’t see it completed, but it depicted scenes of the Nativity and animals of the Middle East with some artistic license. Elephants? Anyway, day or night this was a pleasant place to pass the time. Take a bike ride from the Michoacán style family bike ride, 2-seaters that can be lengthened to add more people, making a long caterpillar where everyone has to oedal and cheer led by the lead driver.

Basilica de Nuestra Senora de la Salud

This church in Patzcuaro contains many interesting religious icons, including the Virgin of Health, who is alleged to have powerful healing abilities.

Reviewed By WRCtravels - Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

This beautiful old building was crowded with people of all ages and nationalities. There were multiple masses being said since it was Ash Wednesday and for a U.S. norte-Americano it was interesting to see the priests putting the ashes (created from the burning of Palm Sunday the year before) being placed not on the forehead but on top of the head. In addition to the main sanctuary filled with statues, stained glass and amazing woodwork there is a side chapel where services were also being held.
