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.
Funicular Panorámico
Ride the funicular to the top of the mountain where the statue of the "Pipila" is located. No pets, no bicycles.
Museo Dieguino
The underground excavated remains of the original 17th-century cloister, of which the Templo de San Diego is the surviving remnant today. Occasionally photography and art exhibits are also hosted in this space.
The architecture of this theater is part Neoclassical and part Moorish, making it a really beautiful building. Inaugurated in 1903 by President Porfirio Díaz.
Iglesia de San Diego
This is the only surviving building from the original 17th-century convent, with a splendid rococo exterior.
Museo Iconografico del Quijote
Small, but very well done. Art exhibits focused on Don Quixote.
