Museo Regional Potosino

This building dates back to the mid-17th century.

The sturdy facade of this temple is made of pink quarry stone in the purest baroque style, just like its interior.

It is built with stiped pilasters. Its door has a beautifully carved lintel that depicts Friar Leon cleaning the wounds of Saint Francis.

Adjacent to the sacristy is the De profundis room, featuring an original baroque-style stone basin topped with a magnificent seashell.

The Regional Museum showcases the most select pieces of the region's history, which was once part of the province of Zacatecas.

In its four rooms, you can explore the panorama of Mesoamerican cultures through the exhibition of various archaeological artifacts. One of these rooms focuses on the most important aspects of the Huastec culture that developed in the lands of San Luis Potosi. In fact, it is considered one of the most important archaeological collections in the Huasteca region.

It has a significant collection of colonial-era paintings attributed to Miguel Cabrera, such as "The Apparition of Mary to Saint Francis" and "The Death of Saint Clara."

The museum also exhibits objects and documentary information related to the historical evolution of the state, including special sections dedicated to colonial art and Mexican folk arts, showcasing the crafts of the region.
