Basilica of Our Lady of Guanajuato

Beautiful town square in front of the Basilica. Cafes in the area, good people watching spot.

There is a 3-4 story series of steps that lead up to an auditorium, offering good views over the colonial city.

It was built as the city hall in 1903 and inaugurated by President Porfirio Díaz.

Small but interesting collection of animal and human specimens. Many stuffed animals and some grisly body parts in jars of formaldehyde.

This space was built as the atrium for a 17th-century convent, of which the Templo de San Diego is the sole surviving building. It now functions as the central plaza, and always has a lot of things going on, day and night. There are a number of restaurants surrounding the garden, and in the afternoons and evening there free concerts are often given from the central gazebo.
