Route of Mexicaltzingo

This tour in the south of the Historical Centre of Guadalajara reveals a fusion of history, art and traditions. The Cathedral of Guadalajara marks the starting point with its imposing presence of the 16th century. Around it, the Plaza de Armas and the Government Palace reflect the political and social life of the old tapatian heart, while the building of the National Lottery symbolizes the urban modernization of the 20th century.

The Temple of San Francisco of Assisi and that of Our Lady of Aránzazu preserve the splendor of the baroque, contrasting with the neoclassical sobriety of the Municipal Treasury, ancient "Casa Cuervo." Further south, the Square of the Nine Esquinas maintains its popular essence, linked to the history of trade and pitayas. The Puente de las Damas, built in the 18th century, connects the Spanish Guadalajara to the old district of Mexicaltzingo, where the Parish of San Juan Bautista, the guardian of the "Lord of the Penitentiary," rises.

A tour that links colonial origins with urban transformation, preserving the living identity of the center.
