Guanajuato is the capital of Guanajuato
State located in Central Mexico.
The town occupies a narrow valley at over
6000 feet in a mountainous region where
the mining of gold and silver once created
great prosperity.
Stone is plentiful in the valley and with it the
early settlers created many splendid
colonial buildings including private
mansions, public building, churches,
aqueducts, and a European style castle
that is now a hotel.
Several streets in the center of the town go
underground through tunnels cut like mines
through the rock or constructed like
bridges to support building at ground level.
Many narrow streets are pedestrian only
and other alleyways have staircases to the
higher parts of the town.

The building is one that will
transport you to Europe and the
views can be great as the hotel
occupies the high ground above
the narrow valley that once saw
great prosperity.
The first inhabitants of the
Guanajuato area were the pre
Hispanic Chichimecas and later
Aztecs who mined the precious
metals. The Spanish defeated the
local Indians in the 1540s and
started mining on a large scale.
By 1555 the town had forts for
protection against raiding
Chichimecas and the first church
was under construction.
One of the earliest mines, the
1540s Bocamina Mine is today
open for visits by tourists who
descend into the mine shaft and
tour the above ground support
buildings. The mines made
Guanajuato the richest cities in
Mexico during the colonial period.
