Why visit Puebla?

Puebla is the capital of the state of Puebla, located in central Mexico southeast of Mexico City. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is filled with churches and buildings decorated with colorful Talavera tiles. The city is also one of the great food capitals of Mexico and the site of the Battle of Puebla on 5 May 1862, the origin of Cinco de Mayo.

Start at the main square and the Puebla Cathedral, one of the largest in Mexico. Visit the Rosary Chapel inside the Church of Santo Domingo, covered in gilded and carved decoration. See the Biblioteca Palafoxiana, considered the first public library in the Americas, and the art collections of the Museo Amparo. Browse antiques and crafts around the Callejon de los Sapos, and watch Talavera pottery being made in a traditional workshop. Take a short trip to nearby Cholula to see the Great Pyramid, with a church on top and the Popocatepetl volcano in the background on clear days. Taste mole poblano, cemitas and, in late summer, chiles en nogada.
