Museo Iconografico del Quijote
Small, but very well done. Art exhibits focused on Don Quixote.
Funicular Panorámico
Ride the funicular to the top of the mountain where the statue of the "Pipila" is located. No pets, no bicycles.
An 18th-century neoclassical theatre that used to host vaudville-style comedies. Used as a cinema in the early 20th century, renovated and reinaugurated in 1955. Now operated by the University of Guanajuato and used as a venue for dance performances and for the Festival Cervantino.
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 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.
