About Centro Histórico de Aguascalientes
The historic center of Aguascalientes grew around a Spanish settlement founded in the late sixteenth century as a waystation on the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro toward the northern silver mines. Its colonial plaza, cathedral, and grid of streets served as the civic and commercial core of the city. It anchored regional trade and administration for centuries.
