Das Beste in Taxco de Alarcón

Best of Taxco

Taxco’s heritage is anchored by the 18th-century Borda House, focusing on silver mining history, and the Humboldt House, which displays viceregal art in a restored colonial mansion. The William Spratling Museum houses a collection of nearly 300 pre-Hispanic archaeological artifacts. For panoramic views of the city’s red-tiled roofs and the Santa Prisca Church, visit the hilltop Christ Monument and the Mirador observation point located on the outskirts of the town.
