Overview

If in Novohispano art is shown in all its splendor, in Cholula deep prehispanic airs are breathed. The city was built on the foundations of a large indigenous city.

The pre-Hispanic Cholula was a large metropolis inhabited for thousands of years. Hernán Cortés thought, seeing the amount of teocalis he imagined that one could pray in a different temple every day of the year. Temples were built on these indigenous shrines; and today Cholula has 37 churches, something surprising for a city of its size.

Because Cholula is art and the Tlacuilo - the scribe, the indigenous painter - is the author of masterpieces, such as the extraordinary Mural of the drinkers and the creative explosion of Santa María Tonantzintla

Visit the majestic San Francisco Acatepec Temple and admire the incredible facade with Talavera pieces as well as the factories that continue to produce authentic works of art with the traditional process.
