Puebla International Airport, officially Hermanos Serdán International Airport (IATA: PBC, ICAO: MMPB). The airport was named for Aquiles Serdán, Máximo Serdán and María del Carmen Serdán, known as the Serdán brothers, leaders of the revolutionary Maderista anti-reelectionism. The airport located in the municipalities of Tlaltenango, Huejotzingo and Juan C. Bonilla near Puebla City. It handles national and international air traffic for the city of Puebla. It also serves as an alternate airport for Mexico City, being part of the metropolitan airport group for the Mexican capital, comprising the airports of Mexico City, Toluca, Cuernavaca, and Querétaro. The airport used to be a hub for Puebla Air Lines before it ceased operations in 1995. The airport was inaugurated on 18 November 1985 and since 2001, was given in concession to Operadora Estatal de Aeropuertos (OEA) for operation and development. OEA is a company founded specifically to manage and carry out investments to extend airport facilities. It handles air traffic in the city of Puebla and is part of the Metropolitan Airport System. On January 23, 1996, the Puebla Airport, which was a national aerodrome, was named the “Hermanos Serdán” International Airport, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation. In 2003, the US Trade and Development Agency (TDA) provided a grant for US $550,000 to OEA to enable the completion of a project feasibility study regarding the upgrade of the Puebla International Airport. On October 27, 2009, MexicanaLink opened connecting flights from Puebla to Las Vegas, New York, and Los Angeles. However, on August 28, 2010, and with the cessation of operations of Mexicana de Aviación and its subsidiaries, MexicanaLink stopped offering services at this airport. On November 29, 2011, the government of the state of Puebla dissolved the State Airport Operator due to anomalies in its budget, leaving Airports and Auxiliary Services in charge of operating the airport. OEA subsequently retained the services of The Louis Berger Group Inc. from the US to complete the study, which concludes that in the long term the airport might serve up to 15 million passengers annually considering that Puebla constitutes the fourth largest city in Mexico in terms of population. During the period 2015-2016, Copa Airlines operated at the airport with flights to Panama City, however, the route was canceled due to the low influx of passengers on that route. On October 19, 2020, the Government of the State of Puebla announced the incorporation of the Mexican airline Interjet to operate two international routes, with service to Houston and New York, and a domestic route with service to Acapulco. The new routes would begin to operate in the first quarter of 2021 with a frequency of two weekly flights, however, due to the indefinite suspension of operations of the airline decreed in December 2020, as a result of a set of financial and legal problems, coupled with the impact of the pandemic of COVID-19 in aviation, the new routes did not materialize.

The Dean’s house is a historic building in the city of Puebla, which dates from the year 1563 but was occupied in 1580 (the date that is engraved on the lintel of the upper floor window). Its name comes from the position of its first owner and builder, Tomás de la Plaza y Goes, dean of the Puebla Cathedral. According to the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), an institution that protects and manages the building that is now a museum, the Dean’s house is “a magnificent example of what some of the mansions were in the first century of life of the City of Puebla. “The Dean’s house is considered the first civil construction in the city, and it has even been called” The Sistine Chapel of the New World”. Currently, only its Mannerist façade is preserved, hallway, entrance hall, patio, staircase, two rooms on the ground floor, and two on the upper floor. Facade of the Casa del Deán In the upper part of the facade, you can still see a date: 1580, which makes this house one of the oldest still preserved in the city. Inside there are unique murals from the 16th century that show the interest of its builder in the ideas of the Renaissance and that were saved from destruction between 1953 and 1954. Although unique 16th-century murals had been known to exist in this house since 1923, this was no reason to prevent the property from being sold in 1953 to build a cinema. Currently, inside the Dean’s house, it is possible to find two rooms adorned with murals made by indigenous Tlacuilos, mainly from the Mixtecos, Tlaxcalans, and Cholultecos. The first represents the sibyls, women who received from the god Apollo the gift of fortune-telling. The second is located in the bedroom of Don Tomás de la Plaza; it is called of the Triumphs. According to the inscription found in the second room, the murals were found by Efraín Castro Morales and David Bravo Cid on October 12, 1953 “under wallpaper and several layers of lime paint”. It is said that what saved these murals was their publication in the book Historia del Arte Hispanoamericano by Salvat, in Spain. The restoration was directed by Hermilo Jiménez, although there is doubt that strict criteria were followed. These paintings made under the direction of their owner, a cultured clergyman steeped in the Renaissance spirit, are one of the few examples of syncretic ornamentation in a building neither ecclesiastical nor conventual. But civil, although not public, where tradition Hellenic-Roman of the already Christianized sibyls and the one from the end of the Middle Ages, as seen in the Trionfi of Petrarca, joins with the autochthonous imagery originating the culture of New Spain. Mural paintings in the Viceroyalty of New Spain, a classification in which we can classify these murals, can be classified as: Historical scenes that took place inside and outside the Mexican territory, were integrated with religious motifs. Scenes and cycles were taken from the Holy Scriptures, especially the life of Jesus Christ and Mary. Hagiographic murals of varied themes: life and work of founders of the religious orders who arrived in New Spain, venerated saints, etc. Mythological or allegorical images. The art historian Antonio Molero affirms that the cover of the Casa de Deán served as a space for rehearsal or experimentation of the forms that would later be reproduced in the Cathedral.
