Such a beautiful place both inside and out. Truly the focal point of the historic district. Please be respectful especially if something is happening inside.

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.

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.

House of Eleven Patios (Casa de los Once Patios)

This former convent is now the best place in town to shop for arts and crafts from a slew of various vendors.

Reviewed By cavedodger - Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Morelia boasts an enormous amount of art and crafts, ranging from textiles to copper and all the amazing representations of Day of the Dead. Patzcuaro is famous for it's lacquerware and even if that isn't your thing, you have to marvel at the skill of these artists who daily produce such marvelous and unique pieces. The House of the Eleven Patios is not only an interesting building but also a very convenient way to see artisans at work across a variety of skills. And it is only when one returns to the larger cities that one realizes that most of the prices are an absolute bargain.

Went on a Sunday morning and this is a very fun place to be. The fountain, aqueduct, park and romance ally are all right there. It was fun watching folks enjoy the park and fountain with their dogs.

Santa Clara del Cobre

Town known for its copper craftsmanship.

Reviewed By PatzcuaroVictoria - Patzcuaro, Mexico

I have a hotel in Patzcuaro (Hotel Casa Encantada) and I always highly recommend to my guests visit Santa Clara. It is a short trip from Patzcuaro. The various shops and workshops plus the museum are well worth the visit. It is fabulous to see some af the artesanos create the beautiful copperware. It is one of the best places to buy your gifts for the folks back home to let them know you were thinking of them. WHY? There are great gifts in every price range from earrings to gorgeous vases and they pack without trouble and do not break transporting them. Make sure you make time to see this lovely Pueblo and it's artesania.
