Nestled in a deep and narrow ravine, the city of Zacatecas is one infused with contrasts. From high atop the Cerro de la Bufa to the mines of El Edén, the city is wrapped in a turbulent history of battles. The city, originally populated by various indigenous tribes around 10,000 years ago, was established as a mining community after silver was discovered beneath its soil. The mines, which can still be visited today, are tainted with the memories of thousands of enslaved indigenous people, forced to work here. But aside from its dark colonial history, Zacatecas was also the site where the rebels, led by Francisco “Pancho” Villa, defeated government forces in 1914. This defining moment was forever embodied in Villa’s statue, which overlooks Cerro de la Bufa, frozen in a fierce expression, as if ready to charge at any moment.
Today, the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and living museum with its structures made of pink quarry stone lining its winding streets. Visitors from all over the world come to see its magnificent colonial and Mexican Churrigueresque architecture, evident in its churches, theaters, and other historical buildings. With festivals that never seem to end, its partying culture is also another reason to visit the vibrant city. From the callejoneadas (walking serenade and folklore tradition) on its streets and alleyways to its underground clubs, music and revelry are a treasured part of the city’s personality.
