Zacatecas

Zacatecas is the capital of the state of Zacatecas in north-central Mexico. It is located in the state's southernmost region, in a deep narrow valley about 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) above sea level. The name of the city means "place where zacate grass flourishes". It's one of the most beautiful historical places you should visit in your journey.

In 1993, the old center of Zacatecas has named a UNESCO World Heritage site. The cathedral, known for its intricately carved portico, was started in 1612 and finished in the mid-1700s. It housed European artworks as well as intricate silver and goldwork until the 1850s and 1860s, when reformists confiscated the majority of it. La Quemada (Chicomóztocenormous )'s pre-Columbian remains lie about 30 miles (50 km) south-southwest of the city.

The 18th-century Mala Noche (which translates as the "Bad Night Palace"), the gorgeous Calderón Theatre, and the pink stone-walled church with its soaring towers are among the major landmarks to see.
