Museum of the Holy Inquisition

Small museum about the Spanish Inquisition, displays feature a number of macabre torture devices.

Built from 1765-1788 with funding from the rich silver mines, this is considered to be one of the best examples of Mexican Churrigueresque architecture. Particularly noteworthy are the finely-carved, elaborate altars covered in gold leaf.

The richest mine in Guanajuato still in operation today. It supplied enough silver to sponsor the Spanish Empire and its colonies.

Facilities include an indoor Olympic-sized pool, a diving pool, and an on-site gym.

An annual event since 2005, this festival celebrates music, dance, and art from the 5th to 15th centuries, with participants hailing from across Mexico.
