San Miguel de Allende

San Miguel de Allende, a colonial-era city in the central upper part of Mexico, is known for its Spanish baroque architecture, its active artistic scene and its cultural festivals. In the historic cobblestone center of the city, there is the Parish of San Miguel Arcángel, in a neo-Gothic style, whose spectacular pink towers stand above the main square, El Jardín. Nearby is the church of the Temple of San Francisco with an 18th-century Churrigueresque facade.
