What to see in Puebla

Puebla is one of the most expressive cities in Mexico, where a rich colonial history and living folk traditions intersect. The city is known for its baroque architecture, talavera ceramics and cozy atmosphere of narrow streets, and its location in central Mexico makes Puebla a convenient base for short trips from Mexico City. Here, each square and facade keep traces of different eras, and walks around the city fill with impressions and a desire to return again.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made attractions amaze with diversity: the majestic Puebla Cathedral, decorated with colonnades and ornate portals; Fort Loreto, a monument to the heroic history of the battle of 1862; the famous chapels and churches - Santa Maria Tonzintla, Santo Domingo with its Rosario Chapel and the temple of the Immaculate Conception in the village of the same name. No less valuable cultural places: the library of Palafoxiana with ancient funds, the monastery of Exconvento de Calpan and the picturesque markets of El Parian, where they sell traditional products from the talavera and crafts of the region.
