History of mining in the area with mineral specimens and other mining exhibits like smelters and extractors on display.
Church from the 16th century with oil canvases from the same era inside, plus surrounding historical quarters around adjacent Plaza de la Constitucion. Murals depicting heaven and the heavens (stars and galaxies) is phenomenal. The church is famous for having been the parish of Father Mariano Matamoros, who was one of the insurgents of the Mexican War of Independence back in 1810 (along with his bud, Father Miguel Hidalgo).
State Capitol
One of the smallest and least interesting of Mexico's state capitols. Built in 1970, the building is modern and sterile feeling with no historical exhibits. Tourists may want to see the exhibit of art works by state artists and can enquire about observing legislative sessions.
Colonial Catholic temple also from 16th century with the adjacent St. Francis of Asisi convent, which once housed Franciscan missionaries. The church features a 3-level Baroque-style facade with a single bell tower with four bells. Lush gardens fill the grounds where plazas showcase statues. More statues and historic oil paintings, including a revered painting of St. Francis, are found inside the church. Many other saints are also portrayed in the church's artwork, including Saint Jude, Saint Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Martin of Tours. A side chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Light.
