EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Guanajuato underground city, located in the heartland of Mexico. As the capital of Guanajuato state and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this colonial-era city is nestled in a picturesque valley surrounded by the majestic Sierra de Guanajuato mountains. Its unique nickname, "the place of frogs" stems from its mountainous terrain resembling a frog to early inhabitants. Founded in 1559 as a silver mining town, Guanajuato boasts an intriguing history that can be explored through landmarks like the La Valenciana mine. The historic center exudes European charm with its narrow cobblestone alleyways known as callejones. These alleys wind up and down the hillside, leading to shady plazas adorned with sidewalk cafes, museums, theaters, markets, and historic monuments. The neoclassical- and baroque-style colonial architecture found throughout the city adds to its allure. However, what truly sets Guanajuato apart is its underground network of tunnels that serve as traffic control routes beneath the bustling streets above. Beyond its architectural beauty and rich heritage lies another significant aspect – being recognized as the birthplace of Mexican Independence. As an essential stop along Mexico's Independence route (not affiliated with any company), Guanajuato holds immense historical significance for visitors seeking to delve into Mexico's past. This stunning print captures all these elements flawlessly; it transports viewers into this remarkable destination filled with history, culture, and natural splendor.
