Teziutlán is a small city of about 62,000 people (2020) in the highlands of western Puebla. It is a quiet city that was once the boyhood home of Mexican President Manuel Avila Camacho. The town is one of Mexico's designated Pueblos Mágicos.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Teziutlan Cathedral
Built in 1952 the cathedral features neoclassical architecture and baroque detailing, it is constructed of pink limestone, a typical regional material.
A mid-19th-century mansion that's now a cultural center with some historical and arts displays. It's a cool building with a clay tile roof, wood floors, and pine beams.
Railway Station Museum
A former train station with a museum that showcases the history of the area.
Victoria Theatre, Teatro Variedades
Beautiful theatre built in 1882 with French influences. The building has had a checkered past with periods when it operated as a ballroom, circus, box arena, and cinema.
Church of Carmen
The church was built in the 18th century with four identical bell towers (the only such church in Latin America). On July 6th each year, the church is the cite of a celebration that features a procession through town led by men holding a statue of the Virgin high above their heads.
El Pinal Bullring
This is the second bullring on the site. The first was built of wood and was established around 1850, but was demolished in the early 1950s, when construction began on the current bullring built of masonry and with a roof (very few covered bullrings exist). The first bullfights in the new bullring took place in 1954. Today, the bullring hosts bullfights only during town festivals and it is used primarily as a venue for concerts, lucha libre, and similar events.
Chignautla Springs

Basic budget hotel with spacious but minimally equipped rooms that loudly cry out for a serious makeover. Next door to the ADO bus station.
The town's traditional main marketplace dates from the 1940s and is a fun place to shop and eat. It is an endless smorgasbord of fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products, along with household goods and many vendors selling prepared regional dishes, particularly tlacoyos (the ones made with chickpeas are a local favorite).
From the CAPU bus terminal in Puebla, it is a 2-1/2 hour bus ride on Autobuses Via with buses leaving Puebla every 15 minutes. A ticket will cost about M$200.
