Puebla

Located in the heart of Puebla, you will find the “Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral” which upon completion caused a stir throughout the city. The engineers and designers of the cathedral had no idea how they would adorn the top of the cathedral’s towers with an 18 000 pound bell. These towers just so happened to be the tallest in Latin America at the time. Miraculously one morning the city woke up to found the bell at the top of the towers in its rightful place with no one knowing who or what put it there, and so the legend was born and the City of Angels came to be!

The city is alive with stories on how the cultural traditions were formed and with every cobblestone of Puebla laced with its own unique tale there is bound to be an element of history to captivate you!

Another fundamental piece of Puebla’s history is the city’s nickname as the Heroic City, the streets of Puebla were the battlefields for the Mexican troop’s defeat of the French Army.
