Plaza de la Paz

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.

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

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

Three floor museum with many historical artifacts and artworks about the city of Guanajuato.

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