EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting city of Guanajuato, nestled in a picturesque valley surrounded by the majestic Sierra de Guanajuato mountains. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the capital of Guanajuato state, this colonial-era gem exudes charm and history at every turn. Guanajuato earned its nickname "the place of frogs" due to its mountainous terrain resembling a frog's shape to early inhabitants. Located in the heartland of Mexico known as Bajio, this region holds great significance in Mexican culture. Founded in 1559 as a silver mining town, Guanajuato is home to the renowned La Valenciana mine.

The neoclassical- and baroque-style colonial architecture found throughout the city adds an elegant touch to its streetscape. Moreover, an intricate network of underground tunnels helps regulate traffic flow beneath this vibrant cityscape. Notably recognized as the birthplace of Mexican Independence, Guanajuato holds immense historical importance along Mexico's Independence route.
