Built in 1683, this pastel pink church is the city's most recognizable landmark.

The centerpiece and focal point and one of the best things to do in San Miguel Allende is the unmissable church. La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel or the Church of St. Michael the Archangel is as impressive as it is massive. This is arguably the most photogenic spot in the city inside and out. Enjoy the view from the well-manicured garden in the plaza directly in front of the church that looks almost like an ornate pinkish orange cake! On Sundays, the plaza out front is filled with families and their children enjoying the park. The Luna Rooftop Tapas Bar in the Rosewood Hotel is a great place to have a cocktail enjoying both the sunset and this amazing church

Our tour guide included a tour of the campus and we finished in the Auditorium/Theater. Spectacular. The whole campus was stunning, the architecture the history. Really impressed.

So here we are once again in this cultural centre for the arts, originally built as a cloister beginning in 1755...events in more recent times led to the facility being used as exhibition galleries, national art and cultural institute studies and a place for individuals to visit as a grand tourist site..there is a very delightful coffee shop , a book store , musical and art events and many opportunities to be involved in art classes...there is always a special event to occupy your time and interest...

So many art galleries, it's almost over whelming. If you are looking for art in San Miguel, this stop should definitely be on your list. A wide variety of galleries present options for almost any taste. Local and international artists are represented as well as a couple shops selling antique art. Add to all that a few shops selling clothing, lighting, furniture and garden goods along with two restaurants and a coffee shop also on site in this large former textile factory, make for an interesting afternoon for art lovers. Suggestion: If you walk from the town square you can plan your route to take you through the "Mercado de Artesanias" which includes a few interesting shops along, with the usual tourist trinkets. Further along, "Calz de la Aurora" also has a number of interesting and worthwhile galleries on both sides of the street.

Love visiting here when I am in Guanajuato. I go several times during my stay and always go eat tortas and shop for souvenirs. Their food section is great, with lots of selection and real local food. The second floor has a lot of souvenirs and arts and crafts to choose from.
