UNESCO officially proclaimed Morelia’s downtown as World Heritage in December, 1991. Morelia is the beautiful colonial capital city of the state of Michoacan. It’s located in the Mexican southwest part. It has around 1.199,02 square kilometers.

Before the Spanish Conquer, the region that is now Morelia was known as Guayangareo valley and it was inhabited by a native group called the pirindas. The city was founded in 1541, but it received de name of Valladolid until 1577. In 1582, it replaced Patzcuaro as Capital of the Province of Michoacan.

During the 17th century Morelia experienced a period of growth and development; the convents of San Francisco and San Agustin were built during the first years, then the ones of El Carmen, La Merced and other important churches.

In 1744, the towers and façade of the cathedral were finished. This century was the most splendid period of the city’s civic architecture, due to the construction of many government buildings (Colegio Seminario, Colegio de los Jesuitas, Colegio de San Nicolás, Las Casas Reales, La Alhóndiga, etc).

In order to provide public services to the city, the squares were decorated with fountains and the aqueduct (with 253 cantera stone arcs) was built ordered by bishop Fray Antonio de San Miguel.
