The historic capital of Queretaro has played an important and relevant role in the life of free and independent Mexico. It has been birthplace of the reunions of conspiracy against the Spanish emperor, place of the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo giving end to the North American invasion, tomb of the invading emperor Maximiliano de Habsburgo, murdered in the Cerro de las Campanas, and capital of the Mexican Republic during the presidency of Venustiano Carranza and the political Constitution of 1917.

On your visit to this antique and magical city, you must visit the Historical Center of the city, declared ¨Cultural Patrimony of Humanity¨ by the UNESCO, where the Plaza de Armas is found, the Casa de la Corregidora, la Casona de los cinco Patios, the Episcopal Expalace, the Cathedral, the Temple of Tersitas, the Temple and Exconvent of San Francisco, the Theatre of the Republic (also where our national hymn was first sung), where Maximiliano de Habsburgo was sentenced, where the Political Constitution of Mexico was made in 1917; and much more.
