IT WAS BORN FROM A HACIENDA AND HOLDS MANY STORIES TO BE TOLD

Plaza Principal (Main Plaza)

Surrounded by colonial-era buildings, the main square offers a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere where you can savor exquisite artisanal ice creams. Notable is a mansion called Casa del Hacendado, featuring elegant balconies and windows with delicate wrought ironwork.

Iglesia del Señor de la Misericordia (Church)

Located in front of the square, it was built in 1908 by the Englishman Louis Long and showcases attractive stained-glass windows and neo-Gothic-style murals. It preserves some images from the original Hacienda de Jalpa.

Religious Constructions

You can also visit the Parish Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which are part of the old Hacienda de Jalpa de Cánovas dating back to the 17th century.

Luis Cabrera Museum

Named in honor of the town's chronicler, the museum displays a collection of objects and photographs that narrate the town's history.

During your visit, you will find everything from pre-Hispanic artifacts to historical photos from the 20th century.

The museum also exhibits historical documents, maps, and various farming tools.

Hacienda de Cánovas

This is an unmissable place, as it gave its name to this Magical Town (Pueblo Mágico) and was once one of the most prosperous haciendas in the country. Today, the dam, some buildings, and the mill are still preserved.
