Marian Gallery Collegiate Basilica of Our Lady of Guanajuato

Built from 1671 to 1696. Inside this church there is a 1000-year-old statue donated by Spanish King Charles I who tried to protect it from the Arab invasion in Spain.

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

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

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.

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

Built between 1747 and 1765.
