A UNESCO WORD HERITAGE SITE, ENCHANTING COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE AND TANTALIZING CUISINE
The Historic Center is a cultural asset inscribed in 1987 on the World Heritage List.
Puebla, the capital of the state of the same name, is located about 100 kilometers east of Mexico City and is guarded by Popocatépetl, Ixtaccíhuatl, and La Malinche.
The city was founded in 1531 with the initial objective of creating a town exclusively for Spanish settlers, located on the route between Veracruz and Mexico City.
Puebla is characterized by its stately colonial architecture, both civil and religious, which has been remarkably preserved and makes walking through the streets of its historic center an extraordinary experience. You can admire the diverse facades that harmoniously combine tiles and bricks with white mortar reliefs in the Pueblan interpretation of the Baroque style. In fact, the richly ornamented temples have earned it the title of "Reliquary of America."
Puebla
In addition to its distinctive colonial architecture, Talavera ceramics, and colorful traditions, Puebla proudly presents itself as one of the most exquisite conventual cuisines in the country. It is famous for being the birthplace of mole poblano, a national dish, and chiles en nogada, the quintessential baroque dish, as well as its traditional sweets such as camotes and typical Santa Clara pastries.
The city has a wide range of modern tourist infrastructure, countless colonial gems, and numerous museums.
Every year, the city dresses up for the Feria Nacional de Puebla, which takes place from April 30th to May 31st.
The predominant climate is subhumid temperate with summer rainfall, and the average temperature is 16.7°C.
