Catedral de Puebla
Puebla’s impressive cathedral, which appeared on Mexico’s M$500 bill until 2019, occupies the entire block south of the zócalo. Its architecture is a blend of severe Herreresque-Renaissance and early baroque styles. Construction began in 1550, but most of it took place under Bishop Juan de Palafox in the 1640s.
Museo Amparo
This superb private museum, housed in two linked 16th- and 17th-century colonial buildings, is loaded with pre-Hispanic artifacts, yet the interior design is contemporary and stylish.
House of Culture of Puebla
Occupying the entire block facing the south side of the cathedral, the former bishop’s palace is a classic 17th-century brick-and-tile edifice that now houses government offices, the Casa de la Cultura and the State Tourist Office. Inside are art galleries, a bookstore and cinema, with a congenial cafe out back in the courtyard.
Biblioteca Palafoxiana
Situated above the Casa de la Cultura and founded in 1646, Biblioteca Palafoxiana was the first public library in the Americas. For this, Palafoxiana has been listed on the Unesco Memory of the World register.
Capilla del Rosario, Templo de Santo Domingo
This fine Dominican church features a stunning Capilla del Rosario (Rosary Chapel), south of the main altar, which is the main reason to come here. Built between 1650 and 1690, it’s heavy on gilded plaster and carved stone, with angels and cherubs seemingly materializing from behind every gold leaf.
Zócalo de Puebla
Puebla’s central plaza was originally a marketplace where bullfights, theater and hangings occurred, before assuming its current arboretum-like appearance in 1854. The surrounding arcades date from the 16th century. The plaza fills with an entertaining mix of clowns, balloon hawkers, food vendors and people using the free wi-fi on weekend evenings.
Parian market
El Parián is Puebla’s largest and only traditional handcraft market. It is one of the most-visited tourist attractions of the city.
Callejón de los Sapos
Quaint street lined with colorful buildings, home to a weekend antique & handicraft market.
Museo Internacional del Barroco
This monumental white, architecturally spectacular museum is dedicated to the showy baroque movement – art, fashion, music and literature. The museum, designed by Japanese architect Toyo Itō, emerges from behind a lake, 7km southwest of Puebla's zócalo, evoking the drama of the 17th and 18th century.
Zona Arqueológica de Cholula
It is the largest archaeological site of a pyramid (temple) in the New World, as well as the largest pyramid by volume known to exist in the world today. A church was built on top of the pyramids by the Spanish conquers. Nice restaurants, bars, boutiques and markets are all around the skirts of the archaeological site.
