Capilla del Rosario, Templo de Santo Domingo

This extremely ornate 17th-century chapel is part of the Santo Domingo Church.

Reviewed By minnesotans4 - Saint Paul, United States

There was a sign stating no pictures in the chapel which was disappointing but pictures couldn't truly capture the gilded ornate beauty of this 17th Century chapel which was part of the Santo Domingo Church. The chapel was in the new Spanish baroque style. The chapel worships the Virgin Mary and was used to teach the people the prayer of the rosary. Put this on your itinerary!

Callejon de los Sapos

This street is a popular antique shopping area by day and provides a lively musical atmosphere at night.

Reviewed By PerpetualHoppers - Toronto, Canada

Calle 6 Sur, also known as the Alley of the Frogs, is a must visit because of the many colorful buildings and the beautiful decorated houses along the whole street. If you want good photos, try to get there towards the early morning as the street will be empty and the colors will look beautiful in the morning light. And also the area near around Calle 6 Sur is a great place to hang around in a café or do some street shopping.

We visited in the evening, so the museum was closed. But, the park beside the museum is lovely to visit in the evening and has awesome views of the city. The park is super clean and we felt safe in the evening.

Puebla Cathedra

This huge baroque-style cathedral dominates the town's main square and is one of Puebla's most recognizable landmarks.

Reviewed By manve99 - Orlando, United States

Had a great time, with my wife and the two kids 13yrs and 12yrs old. Both my kids are into history and art, (something to keep in mind) We were lucky enough to attend mass on a Sunday when their ancient pipe organ was being played. I wedding was taking place, so the experience, even for us outsiders, was somewhat surreal, full choir, the organ playing and all the religious art around . Something we will never forget.
