Hidalgo del Parral

This beautiful 17th century building is one of the most outstanding buildings in Parral. On its facade is a niche with the image of the patron saint of the church holding a child. Inside its style is baroque and has the peculiarity that in its presbytery are the remains of the founder of the town. Do not forget to walk in the gardens surrounding the church with its beautiful kiosk and raramuris selling handicrafts.

It is basically this mine to which is owed the origin of Hidalgo del Parral, because during the seventeenth century to discover its veins, became the reason for the growth of the colonial city and the economic pillar of the town. For 345 years it remained open, finally closed due to water dripping onto the stones.
Now a museum which aims to raise awareness of mining in the area for its great importance in the region.
