The History of San Miguel D.A

The cultural centers of San Miguel, a cosmopolitan town in the central mountains of Mexico, are well-known for their beautiful, historic, and vibrant arts scene. In the center of the historic cobblestone plaza lies the imposing neo-Gothic cathedral, Parroquia San Miguel, with its dramatic pink domes rising above the main square. The Templo de Santo Domingo church nearby is an equally striking, Gothic-inspired building.

Some of the many modern-day hotels in San Miguel D.A. also serve as cultural centers. The Hotel Imperial on the Plaza de la Constitucion, San Miguel's main commercial center, provides a number of local, regional, and international businesses with a number of amenities to offer visitors. The hotel features an eclectic array of restaurants, pubs, and shops. The hotel's many rooms feature beautiful decor that reflect the rich Spanish heritage of the area.

Another San Miguel de Allende hotel offers tours of the town, which includes a tour of the old and historic area, a visit to the Spanish Colonial Museum, the Cathedral and the Parroquial de San Miguel. A day at one of these hotels is sure to bring you a memorable experience and allow you to explore the fascinating culture of the area.

There are also a number of private and independent art galleries in San Miguel. There is the historic Center for the Arts, which displays both local and foreign artists' work, and the Hotel Tlalocatl. There are also a number of museums devoted to the history of the city and Mexico, such as the Institute of Hispanic Studies and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Contemporaneo.

Although San Miguel D.A. is well-known for its diverse cultural offerings, the town offers some other attractions as well. There are numerous horseback tours around the area, as well as trips down the Rio Grande, a scenic river which meanders through the mountains.

For those interested in history, there are museums in the San Miguel D.A. Museum of Modern Art, the San Juan de Allende National Museum, and the Centro de Estudios del Prado, which were the former headquarters of the Catholic Church. The National Autonomous University of Mexico, formerly the University of Mexico, is located just across the street from the downtown area. In the central hills above San Miguel lie San Miguel Cathedral, the former seat of the archbishop, the former headquarters of the archdiocese, and the Chucho Juarez Cibao, the oldest continuously operating Roman Catholic church in Mexico.
