Nestled in a deep ravine, the north central Mexican town of Zacatecas oozes Spanish colonial charm with its narrow lanes lined with white-washed buildings that climb the hillsides.

Zacatecas was founded in 1546 after the discovery of silver nearby. It was a chief silver mining area for Mexico and in 1588 King Philip II of Spain granted the town its own coat of arms. While mining has decreased in recent years, this population of 122,000 mainly relies upon tourism. Its largest mine, Mina El Eden is now a tourist attraction which features a disco within a large cave.

The historical centre of Zacatecas is a UNESCO World Heritage site which has the Plaza de Armas at its core. This small square is home to an 18th century governor’s palace and the large 18th century cathedral. The stunning cathedral’s façade is ornately carved in cantera, a red stone. The Church of Santo Domingo can be found opposite the cathedral on the square. The baroque building was completed in 1749 and features beautiful wood-carvings within.
