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!

An example of tequitqui art, refers to the artistic manifestations made by indigenous people of the Mesoamerican area after the Conquest of Mexico. It can be said that it is the mixture of indigenous art with Christian art and you can see the process of transculturation between the indigenous and the Spanish.

This museum houses numerous artifacts and pieces of art from pre-Columbian and colonial times.
Reviewed By NorthVan_dan - North Vancouver, Canada
This museum is an absolute must! First, the building is gorgeous - set in colonial houses with historic rooms, courtyards and a truly spectacular rooftop cafe (with stunning views of the local churches). There is a nicely curated private collection of prehispanic pieces. For an extra 70 pesos, I bought a very thoughtful and well organized English booklet that provided context and cultural background to these pieces. They threw in a poster of the very interesting wall mural that compares civilizarions around the world. We also enjoyed the colonial furniture and art exhibition that was especially nice with the items in real colonial rooms. There were also exhibits of beautiful contemporary tapestries and vivid protest poster art. I think the admission was 55 pesos. A great value to see inside (and on the roof of) one of Puebla's gems.

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.

This fort marks the location of the Battle of Cinco de Mayo, which Mexico fought against Napoleon III in 1862.

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.

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.

A 43,000-volume library located in the Casa de la Cultura.
Reviewed By jwhitehouse - Oakland, United States
We had to return as the opening is after 11:00, but it was worth it Not Prague’s famous library but really worth the time. Just across from cathedral.
