This Magical Town has the jewel of the Mexican Churrigueresque: The National Museum of the Viceroyalty, built in 1580 as the Jesuit College of San Francisco Javier. The main altar of the chapel, the church of San Francisco Javier and the church of San Pedro Apóstol in the neoclassical style stand out for their wealth, without forgetting the important museum collection inside. Do not miss the view from its viewpoint.
