Construction of this cathedral began in 1660 and was completed in 1744 - yes, 84 years later. The towers are towering - over 200 feet high. The organ inside is impressive. This pink stone cathedral is a Unesco World Heritage Site. It is the city's shining star.

El Naranjal is an archaeological zone located outside the pueblo of the same name about 6.5 miles/10.5 kms south of the town of Ignacio Zargosa. It is reached off the Valladolid-Cancun Libre, and is an INAH designated site. The site is maintained by the local Maya community. Guides can be found about the pueblo square.

The larger of the two major downtown plazas in Patzcuaro.
Reviewed By susanaquerida - Vancouver, Canada
A large plaza with tourist services surrounding it, this Zocalo is very pretty. It was being decorated while we were there just before Christmas. Unfortunately we didn’t see it completed, but it depicted scenes of the Nativity and animals of the Middle East with some artistic license. Elephants? Anyway, day or night this was a pleasant place to pass the time. Take a bike ride from the Michoacán style family bike ride, 2-seaters that can be lengthened to add more people, making a long caterpillar where everyone has to oedal and cheer led by the lead driver.

Built of stone in 1785, this Aqueduct with 253 arches is one of Morelia's biggest attractions.
Reviewed By vagabondginger - San Diego, United States
Morelia has a very Spanish feel to it and this Roman-style aqueduct reminded me a bit of Segovia in Spain altho not of that scale. This one was built in the 1700's and has 253 arches and is about 2km long. It's beautiful so see in a drive by and very near the Vision of Guadalupe church which is another quick stop worth doing just to see the inside.

When I am in Morelia, I always stop by this wonderful shop featuring the best handicrafts in Michoacan. All their items are of top quality, and I usually buy a rebozo in the hard-to-fine Patzcuaro style. There are also gorgeous jewelry, china, glassware, musical instruments, Michoacan ceramics and clothing to tempt you. In my opinion, you haven’t seen Morelia if you don’t spend some time in this amazing store.

We spent the day in Tsitzuntzan, travelling by combi from Plaza Chica in Patzcuaro. A lovely trip through agricultural areas (25 pesos), we got off in town and walked up to the archaelogical site. It is very interesting, and well cared for. The partialy restored ruins enjoy axgreat view from its hilltop location. A compact museum displays artifacts excavated on site. Get an English language guide for the interpretation. A huge bonus in town are the two 500 year oldl churches and Santa Clara Franciscan Seminary. They are in a lovely park-like setting. In the spectaular restored Seminary building are frescoes on the wall, and an extensive Exhibition on the Purepecha people. A real bonus for us! Even an art exhibition!
