 There are plenty of historial buildings to explore in the city of Chihuahua, and for going out at night the main activity goes on in the hotel lobbies.
Museo Historico de la Revolucion en el Estado de Chihuahua (Also known as Pancho Villa’s House):
Pancho Villa lived in this 50-room mansion with his wife, Luz Corral in 1909. When she died in 1981, the house was willed to the government. Now its rooms are filled artifacts and objects of Chihuahua’s history and culture.
The Cathedral:
This Baroque church was started in 1726, but not completed until 1825 due to Native uprisings. With its 24-karat gold ceiling, marble altars, cedar and brass figures, and a huge German made organ, this building is a sight to see. In the back of the church there is a museum showing the works of seven local artists from the 18th century.
Palacio de Gobierno:
This building was formerly a convent constructed by the Jesuits in 1882. In 1891 it was then converted into government offices. Destroyed by a fire in 1940 and rebuilt in 1947, murals around the patio portray famous scenes from the history of the state of Chihuahua. There is also a plaque depicting where Father Hidalgo, the father of Mexican independence, was executed in 1811.
Palacio Federal:
The city’s post office and telegraph office are found here, as well as the dungeon where Father Hidalgo was held for 98 days before being executed. His weapons, trunks, crucifixes, and copies of personal letters are on display.
Iglesia de San Francisco:
Built in 1721, this is the oldest church in Chihuahua that is still standing. From 1811 to 1827, Father Hidalgo’s body was interred in the chapel.
Quinta Gameros: Built in 1910, this Art Nouveau mansion is the Cultural Center of the University of Chihuahua. There are over two centuries of European art on display here.
ShoppingThe Mercado de Artesanias is a block long market that sells items such as T-shirts, regional crafts, candy, jewelry, and clothes. The best regional and Tarahumara crafts can be found at the Casa de las Artesanias del Estado de Chihuahua. The Rock Shop carries regional jewels and gems as well as a variety of crafts.
