The city of Puebla is a place full of culture, charm, traditions, history, and beliefs… The magnificent trace of the city has made up the legend that angels built it. Puebla is a jewel of the world’s architecture and has been able to adapt spaces and fill them with life and movement. The city is well-stocked with modern and comfortable hotels, beautiful colonial buildings, and interesting museums. After the conquest, the City of Puebla was the first to be founded in the state, on April 16th of 1531, as a social and human experiment, in which a group of civilians headed by Fray Toribio de Benavente participated. The majestic City of Puebla and other important cities were built with the labor and art of the Indians of the area, as well as that of enterprising Spaniards. Therefore, the area thrived with agriculture and cattle raising. In what architecture concerns, churches, schools, hospitals, and homes were built, and it is here where cultural syncretism left one of its most important legacies; in the historical center of the City of Puebla which was declared “Cultural Heritage of Mankind” by the UNESCO in 1987, with more than 2600 buildings of great value. Biblioteca Palafoxiana Located on the top floor of the College of San Juan, and today is the House of Culture. It was founded by Bishop Juan de Palafox, who donated his private library of 6,000 volumes to the Tridentine Seminary in 1646. It is considered the first public library in the Americas and has more than 45,000 books and manuscripts, ranging from the 15th to the 20th century. Hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00 hrs.

One of its main attractions is El Castillo (The Castle), an English-style residence built in the 19th century which overlooks the dam.

Iglesia de los Remedios in front of the Popocatépetl The church was built on the pyramid in 1594 as a symbol of the evangelization of the Spaniards over native polytheism. The hill remains verdant on the front side, and on the other side, archeologists have excavated the pyramid’s stairways, sacrificial altars, and five miles of tunnels that are open to visitors. After a large earthquake, it was rebuilt between 1864 and 1874. Though it’s up seemingly endless steps, the hike to the top of the hill is worth the effort.
