Casa Museo Gene Byron

A must if you're in Guanajuato. In 1910, due to the overcrowding of the local graveyard, the authorities were forced to exhume several bodies and when they did that they found the bodies had turned into mummies rather than fully decomposing. After that they founded this really strange and unique museum.

Two balconies separated by only 69 centimeters is home of an old love legend. For a few pennies some children will tell you the story.

This building is where the independence revolutionaries burned the Spanish troops, and now houses a museum devoted to the history of the region, as well as an important photographic library.

Built in 1726, this was a Jesuit school in the latter half of the 18th century.

A 28-m-tall statue of an independence hero. Juan Jose Martinez, or also known as El Pípila, was a legendary hero who wore a stone slab on his back to protect himself while burning the Spanish troops holed up in the Alhóndiga, or granary, in September 1810. The view is beautiful, particularly at night.

Exhibits about local myths, legends, and folklore with stories behind local oddities, like the infamous mummies, as told through animotronics.
