Free Tour of Puebla
Free Tour of Puebla
Our guided tour begins in the Puebla Town Square at the scheduled time, next to the fountain found in the centre. From here we'll explore the links between Mexico and Europe, admiring the majestic facade of the Puebla cathedral: its architectural style is clearly Herrerian - a style borrowed from 16th-century Spain placing geometric and mathematical rigour above ostentatious decoration.
The Spanish legacy can also be seen in the Palafoxiana Library. Here we'll take in its main entrance to learn of the history of this extraordinary archive, one of the first to be built on the American continent. And at the end of the free tour you can wander around this temple of literature at your own pace. During the tour we'll also point out various points of interest which you would do well to investigate at the end of the tour, such as the Regional Museum of the Mexican Revolution.
Our free tour then continues next to another of the most notable buildings in the old town: the Church of San Francisco, the first convent to be built in the city. Our route then continues, visting the popular artisanal market of El Parián and the famous 'Alley of the Frogs'. Your tour guide will, of course, explain the origin of the unusual name!
Then to end the tour, we'll head to the grounds of the Santo Domingo Church and the Chapel of the Rosary, considered two of the 'colonial jewels' in Puebla's historic centre - something clear even on first sight!
Then, we'll finish our two-and-a-half-hour guided tour in the streets of the historic centre.
