Where to go at Cuernavaca

Founded by the Franciscans, it was established in 1525 by the group of 12 Franciscans who began evangelizing in Mexico. In fact, it was only the fifth one to establish itself. Towards 1574 this cathedral of baroque style was already finished in spite of undergoing some modifications throughout century XVII. What you can now observe is the intact construction of that time, with its atrium being the central part of the whole.

This mansion was the summer home of wealthy miner of Taxco, Jose de la Borda. Since the eighteenth century, when it was built, gathered in the gardens various species of plants, two pools, terraces, ramps, stairs, fountains and water features; as well as a nearby church that had built the same Borda. Her beauty was such that Maximilian and Carlota also used summer house. It also has a museum and events are organized.
