Guanajuato City

Mexico · Guanajuato

Guanajuato is a municipality in central Mexico and the capital of the state of Guanajuato. It is part of the Bajio macroregion. The city is built in a narrow valley, which gives its streets a winding layout; many are narrow alleys inaccessible to cars, while others consist of long stairways up the mountainsides. Several of its thoroughfares run partially or entirely underground. Its historic center contains numerous small plazas and colonial-era mansions, churches, and civic buildings constructed from pink or green sandstone.
