Salamanca, in the heart of Guanajuato, invites you to tour its Historic Center full of history and art. One of the main attractions is the Temple and ex-convent of San Agustin, whose interior is distinguished by its golden churrigueresque altarpieces and its monumental organ, a true jewel of sacred art in Mexico.

A few steps away you will find the Parroquia del Señor del Hospital y San Bartolomé Apóstol, in front of the Jardín Constitución, where the venerated image of the Cristo Negro stands out, and the Templo de Jesús de las Tres Caídas, known for its neoclassical architecture.

The Hidalgo Museum, located in a historic mansion, offers a journey through key moments of local and national history, including the passage of the priest Miguel Hidalgo through the city.

Salamanca was founded on January 1, 1603 as part of a colonial plan to protect the Camino Real de la Plata, and has since preserved its tradition, culture and architecture.

The city is also home to unique handicrafts such as flaked wax, made by expert hands, and flavors that you can't miss, such as pasta snow, a local culinary emblem.

Come and discover a destination where art, history and gastronomy intertwine to offer you an unforgettable experience in Salamanca, Guanajuato.
