Guadalupe

The most Viceroyal “Pueblo Mágico”
Guadalupe and Zacatecas City form together a metropolitan zone, the most populated settlement of the state. The grandeur of the “Pueblos Mágicos” can be seen in its vast novo-Hispanic heritage protected by the Museo de Guadalupe, in its gastronomical offer, the artisanship seen at la Casa Grande Tacoaleche, its ancient traditions that remain, and its mansions.

The first settlement in this town was on July 16, 1578, it was named Guadalupe because of the sanctuary dedicated to the Lady of Guadalupe. The tourist importance extends to the surrounding communities where we will find some impressive cones that were used as grain storage. In the year 1660, a chapel dedicated to the Virgen del Carmen (Lady of Carmen) was built, remaining in ruins in the year 1680.
