Hacienda San Gabriel de la Barrera. This old hacienda was formerly a silver and gold-producing mine that belonged to landowner Gabriel Barrera. Its height was lived during the eighteenth century and is destined to house 17 very original gardens, in which distinct vegetation types are grown and cared for. Its decor is antique and exquisite, and people who visit not only delight in the extraordinary nature but also in the good taste of the details that surround it.

Old silver-producing Maine The work of this mine began before 1868, when the company was formed, aiming to explore the veins of silver from this mine and other mines. It belongs to the University of Guanajuato, where the students carry out their practices.

Pipila Lookout The monument to El Pípila honors the hero who torched the gates of the Alhóndiga on September 28, 1810, where the Spanish had barricaded themselves, enabling Hidalgo’s forces to win the first victory of the independence movement. The statue shows El Pípila holding his torch high over the city. It’s worth going up to the statue or the magnificent view over the city.

The tunnels of Guanajuato. The city was originally built over the Guanajuato River, which flowed through tunnels underneath the city. However, after years of building construction to accommodate repeated flooding, engineers built a dam and redirected the river into underground caverns in the mid-twentieth century. The tunnels were lit and paved with cobblestones for automobile traffic, and this underground road network carries the majority of cars driving through the city today. It is one of the most notable features of the city.

Alleys. Guanajuato is full of alleys called callejones in Spanish, and one of the most famous ones is called “El Callejon del Beso” or The Alley of the Kiss. This alley is so narrow, that both balconies almost touch. The legend says that at eight every night, two love-struck youths named Ana and Carlos who were dating in secret would meet at this alley, and eventually, their love began to grow. But their love was doomed. In the end, they tragically died just like Romeo and Juliet.

Iconographic Museum of Quixote. Don Quijote de la Mancha, written by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is one of the most famous and widely read literary works in the world. For these reasons and to pay tribute to such a witty character, the Iconographic Museum of Quixote was inaugurated in 1987 in the heart of Guanajuato.
The old, 18th. century European-style building keeps a vast collection of over 800 pieces, including oil paintings, acrylics, prints, bronze sculptures, handicrafts, ceramics, etc. The central theme of almost all of the pieces is the figure of Don Quixote, alone or accompanied by one of the characters in the book.

Diego Rivera Museum. Guanajuato is proud to be home to this beautiful 18th-century house, where Diego Rivera was born, one of the most renowned Mexican artists in the world. The house has been perfectly preserved as it was when the Rivera family lived here. This museum features more than 100 original works by the Mexican painter, undoubtedly one of the most important collections in the country.

Teatro Juarez is an unmistakable landmark in Guanajuato. Two statues of lions guard the access to the theater. Its stone facade is composed of 12 columns, on top of which are 8 of the 9 Greek muses, symbolizing the Fine Arts. The inside is decorated with an amazing fresco, representing the ancient city of Constantinople. Thanks to its diverse architectural style, it is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the country. It is also the main backdrop for the Cervantino International Festival.
