Its main economic activities are mining, agriculture and tourism.
The city had its start as a Spanish mining camp in the mid 16th century. Native Americans had already known about the areas rich deposits of silver and other minerals. Due to the wealth that the mines provided, Zacatecas quickly became one of the most important cities in New Spain, with much of its silver enriching the Spanish crown. The area saw battles during the turbulent 19th century, but the next major event was the Battle of Zacatecas during the Mexican Revolution when Francisco Villa captured the town, an event still celebrated every anniversary.

Built in 1763 and tragically destroyed by an explosion during the Mexican Revolution, this iconic structure has been transformed into a museum that preserves its rich history. Zacatecas, named after its capital city, holds significant cultural and economic importance in North-Central Mexico. Renowned for its abundant silver deposits and other minerals, the state boasts colonial architecture that reflects its past glory. The region's main industries include mining, agriculture, and tourism. Originally established as a Spanish mining camp in the 16th century, Zacatecas quickly flourished due to its valuable resources.
