Morelia
is a beautiful city located in the heart of Mexico, between Guadalajara and Mexico City. It is the capital of Michoacan. The city is built around a large central square with fountains, trees, a bandstand and a cathedral. Morelia’s urban architecture with its palatial buildings, churches, plazas and gardens makes it one of the most beautiful colonial cities in the Americas. Morelia is one of two hundred cities named Cultural World Heritage sites by UNESCO, because of the preservation of the character and charm within its architecture. Built in the 16th century around a Franciscan monastery, there are over 1,000 historical monuments in Morelia and fifteen garden plazas. The city’s marvelous architecture is an eclectic blend of the medieval spirit with Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical elements. However, Morelia is also a modern city with nightclubs, theaters, performing arts centers, fine restaurants and modern shopping. Morelia also features a planetarium and an orchidarium, and the Morelia Zoo has one of the largest collections of animal life in Latin America. Within the zoo are other family attractions, such as boat and train tours, picnic areas and restaurants. Air and bus transportation is available in Morelia and a super highway between Mexico City and Guadalajara makes automobile transportation to Morelia very easy and convenient.
