Morelia Municipal Government

About

In the founding of Morelia in 1541, there were combined influences of Spanish Renaissance with the experience of the native-Americans. Morelia’s checkered urban trace and the unity of the various architectural styles developed between the 16th to 19th centuries have survived until today. In this own way, Morelia illustrates the achievements of several architectural styles: renaissance, baroque, and neoclassical. The vitality of Morelia’s handicrafts and gastronomy are reflection of its cultural wealth and some of the virtues of this beautiful city of pink stone.
