COLONIAL CITIES

 

Mexico has so many colonial cities that you?ll be hard-pressed to find one that hasn?t been acknowledged for its beauty, detailed architecture or historical significance. In the historic centers, you?ll discover gorgeous civic and religious buildings of diverse architecture, such as the styles seen in Guadalajara, Puebla and Mexico City. In other cities, like Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Queretaro and San Luis Potosi, you?ll find an extravagance comparable to that of many European destinations. Many of these New World cities were built thanks to Mexico?s mining boom. In cities like Merida and Oaxaca, you can walk along beautiful streets of mestizo heritage. Both places enjoy the distinction of Mexican cities that have preserved important historical and cultural treasures.
