Built in the 16th century, Morelia is an outstanding example of urban
planning which combines the ideas of the Spanish Renaissance with the
Mesoamerican experience. Well-adapted to the slopes of the hill site,
its streets still follow the original layout. More than 200 historic
buildings, all in the region's characteristic pink stone, reflect the
town's architectural history, revealing a masterly and eclectic blend of
the medieval spirit with Renaissance, Baroque and neoclassical
elements. Morelia was the birthplace of several important personalities
of independent Mexico and has played a major role in the country's
history.
