General InfoBarrio Magdalena$0.00The Temple of Santa María Magdalena is the oldest church in Tequisquiapan. It has been an active place of worship since 1551. A tidy, attractive plaza directly across the street from the church is a popular spot for children to play and adults to relax and unwind. The Barrio de la Magdalena neighborhood, where the church is located, is worth exploring; ancient cobblestone streets meander through neighborhoods where some of the houses are nearly as old as the church itself.
General InfoTequisquiapan$0.00Tequisquiapan, one of Mexico’s pueblos mágicos, or magical towns, is a charming village famous for its vineyards, cheese production, handicrafts, attractive colonial-era architecture, natural hot springs and spas, golf, and custom-made furniture.

Miguel Hidalgo Square lies at the heart of Tequisquiapan. It’s surrounded by an assortment of casual and fine-dining restaurants, hotels, art galleries, and shops selling sweets, handicrafts, silver and opal jewelry, and locally made furniture. The majestic Santa María de la Asunción Catholic Church overlooks the square and is a focal point of the community. The church’s original pink sandstone construction dates back to the 16th century; the building was completed in the Neoclassical style in the 1800s. A wrought iron and stone gazebo is in the center of the plaza—a platform for the musicians and performers who frequent the area.

Spanish colonial architecture is apparent throughout Tequisquiapan, but the finest examples are in the historic district around the square. Cobblestone streets lined with shade trees, bright yellow and terracotta two-story homes, restaurants, and shops adorn the historic quarter. Many buildings have balconies with wrought iron fixtures, arched windows, and distinctive doorways. Bougainvillea, with its intense, magenta-colored flowers, climbs many of the exterior walls. You’ll find a variety of shops in the historic district selling locally produced cheeses, sparkling wines, hand- crafted baskets, sweets and confections, and other regional specialties.
