Top 10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Morelia, Michoacan

March 13, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Morelia (Spanish pronunciation: [moˈɾelja]; from 1545 to 1828 known as Valladolid) is a city and municipality in the north central part of the state of Michoacán in central Mexico. The city is in the Guayangareo Valley and is the capital and largest city of the state. The main pre-Hispanic cultures here were the Purépecha and the Matlatzinca, but no major cities were founded in the valley during this time. The Spanish took control of the area in the 1520s. The Spanish under Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza founded a settlement here in 1541 with the name of Valladolid, which became rival to the nearby city of Pátzcuaro for dominance in Michoacán. In 1580, this rivalry ended in Valladolid’s favor and it became the capital of the colonial province. After the Mexican War of Independence, the city was renamed Morelia in honor of José María Morelos, who hailed from the city. In 1991, the city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its well-preserved colonial buildings and layout of the historic center.

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.

Went on a Sunday morning and this is a very fun place to be. The fountain, aqueduct, park and romance ally are all right there. It was fun watching folks enjoy the park and fountain with their dogs.

Acueducto de Morelia

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.

Lovely area away from the hustle and bustle of the main drag. Relaxing place to wonder - have a cup of coffee at a local bar and just enjoy the atmosphere. Great statue - see picture
