GUANAJUATO COLONIAL BEAUTY
MEXICO ABOUT GUANAJUATO
The city of Guanajuato, at 1,996 m above sea level, is one of the most important historical and cultural colonial cities in Mexico. Guanajuato is located in one of the richest silver mining areas of Mexico, and is well-known for its wealth of fine colonial era Spanish architecture. In 1988, UNESCO declared Guanajuato and the surrounding silver mines a World Heritage Site. The city was originally built over a river, which flowed through tunnels underneath the city. However, after years of raising buildings to avoid the repeated flooding, in the mid-twentieth century engineers built a dam and redirected the river into underground caverns. The tunnels were lit and paved with cobblestones for automobile traffic, and most of the cars driving through the city today use this underground road. It is one of the most noticeable features of the city. Each October, Guanajuato holds the “Festival Internacional Cervantino”, an international festival of the arts named for Miguel de Cervantes.
