Attractions and activities
Queretaro The old colonial town of Querétaro is unusual in having retained the geometric street plan of the Spanish conquerors side by side with the twisting alleys of the Indian quarters. The Otomi, the Tarasco, the Chichimeca and the Spanish lived together peacefully in the town, which is notable for the many ornate civil and religious Baroque monuments from its golden age in the 17th and 18th centuries. This public square from the 18th century is considered to be one of the most beautiful garden plazas in all of Latin America.
The former convent of San Francisco currently houses the Regional Museum, one the most remarkable and beautiful colonial halls I've seen in Mexico. This convent was the first religious building to be constructed in the city of Queretaro. Inside the walls is a wonderful courtyard. At the centennial celebration in 1910 of Mexican Independence, the city built a monument here to honour Josefa Ortiz de Dominquez. It stands to commend her valuable assistance and commitment to the Independence Movement. There is a keyhole on a metal plate symbolizing the one through which she passed a message warning the Resistance Army of the plans the Spanish army had. This cathedral, an 18th century architectural jewel formerly known as San Felipe Neri, illustrates the transition from Baroque to the Neoclassical style. It's facade displays an impressive artwork as well as its fine unfinished tower.
La Plaza de la Constitución was once part of a Franciscan garden, then later a public market. It was then changed to commemorate the proclamation of the Constitution of Mexico. Santa Rosa de Viterbo is considered a masterpiece of Baroque architecture; this beautiful church built in the 18th century is a fine example of Mudejar and Spanish style - with Moorish and Spanish origins. Outstanding buildings like this illustrate the grandeur of the third most important city during the colonial period. Magnificent alterpieces, paintings, sculptures and timeless artistic treasures, all give the evidence why this city is considered a World Heritage Site.
