 Built in the 16th century, the UNESCO World Heritage site that is the city of Morelia is an outstanding example of urban planning that combines the Spanish Renaissance with Mesoamerica.
Well-adapted to the slopes of the hill site, Morelia’s streets still follow their original layout. More than 200 historic buildings, all in the region's characteristic pink stone, reflect the town's architectural history, revealing a masterly and eclectic blend of the medieval spirit with Renaissance, Baroque and neoclassical elements.
Morelia was the birthplace of several important personalities of independent Mexico and has played a major role in the country's history. The city’s three-quarter of a million inhabitants project an almost tangible civic pride as they go about their daily business in the beautifully preserved rose-tinted colonial city centre.
This is the capital of the state of Michoacán, which has so much to offer visitors it could be a country in its own right. But other than language students (there are a number of good schools offering Spanish courses here), few foreign tourists seem to make it to Morelia which leaves those that do free to explore the city's many attractions without the crowds and to use it as a base for visiting the surrounding towns and villages. |
