San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
A Colorful, Cobblestone-Scored City in the Heart of Mexico
By Ashley M. Halligan
A cobblestone scored city, traversed by people the world over, San Miguel de Allende is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the very interior core of Mexico — the heart of Mexico, as many deem it. San Miguel is a colorful escape, south of Mexico City in the state of Guanajuato, which reached its peak in the mid-18th century, following the discovery of silver in the nearby state of Zacatecas. Because of its prosperous beginning, the city is rich with Baroque and Neoclassical architecture as well as well-preserved buildings and mansions from the 17th and 18th centuries.
