El Teatro Juárez

A magnificent theater dating back to 1873, dominating the Jardín de la Unión, Guanajuato’s main square, is the beautiful Juárez Theater (Teatro Juárez), the city’s opera house.

This splendid neoclassical building is notable for its massive doric columns supporting a romanesque portico adorned with eight bronze statues of the Greek muses, and a beautiful Art Nouveau interior.

El Callejón Del Beso

While Guanajuato has many narrow alleyways, this alley has a story behind it that is just as colorful as this city itself. A local love legend that lives on in which couples who smooch at Callejón del Beso (Alley of the Kiss) are rewarded with seven years of good luck!

Museo Casa Diego Rivera

Guanajuato was the birthplace and home to Mexico’s most famous artist, Diego Rivera. The Diego Rivera Museum shows off what the home was like at the time of Rivera’s infancy when he lived in Guanajuato. It, of course, also showcases some of his artwork.

Alhóndiga de Granaditas

Built between 1798 and 1808 as a grain storehouse, the Alhóndiga became a fortress in 1810 when 300 Spanish troops and loyalist leaders barricaded themselves inside after 20,000 rebels led by Miguel Hidalgo attempted to take Guanajuato.
