This collection features the 16th-century Cathedral with Mexico's tallest bell towers and the Biblioteca Palafoxiana, the first public library in the Americas. Explore the 18th-century Rosary Chapel’s gold-leaf interior, the defensive Fort Loreto from the Battle of Puebla, and the hidden colonial tunnels of Puente de Bubas. Traditional markets like El Parián and the Artist Quarter showcase the city's enduring craft heritage and regional Baroque architecture.
