Would you ever have guessed that Toluca has a cathedral too? This one is Neoclassical in style and was started in 1867 but not finished until the mid-20th century. If you look, you can see images of St John, St Thomas, St Peter, and St James on the front. They are in good company.
Toluca Cathedral, formally Cathedral of Saint Joseph of Nazareth is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Toluca, Mexico, named after Saint Joseph.

Another downtown Toluca landmark.
This former convent has a lot of ancient Egyptian exhibits and paintings from colonial to modern times.
Museum of Landscape Painter Jose Maria Velasco
Intimate and approachable museum dedicated to the landscape paintings of Mexico's most famous and prolific artist of the 19th century. Most of the displayed works are smaller and less famous than those in bigger, better funded museums in Mexico City/Centro, such as the National Museum of Art (which has several galleries dedicated to the artist) and the Kalusz Museum (which has a good collection of Velasco's Valle de Mexico landscapes)..
A botanical garden enclosed in an art noveau-type structure of stained glass. It feels rather celestial.
Museo de la Acuarela
