About

Zacatecas was founded in the middle of the 16th century, near important mexican silver deposits. The richness of the city was reflected in elegant manors, hospitals, schools and temples decorated with quarry filigree by anonymous indigenous craftsmen. Due to the city’s strategic position, Zacatecas turned into one of the main and most influential cities in the New Spain. Today the city maintains its original beauty and urban harmony through buildings, narrow streets, little squares and great art collections in museums.
