About this place
Guadalupe is a mid-size city of more than 200,000 inhabitants that serves as a suburb of Zacatecas in the Bajío region of Mexico. Designated as one of Mexico's Pueblos Mágicos, it offers a rich historical heritage centered on its well-preserved Franciscan missions and colonial architecture. The city combines the quiet charm of a historic center with the convenience of being just a short ride from its larger neighbor.
The area was first settled by the Spanish in 1546, though Franciscan missionaries did not establish a significant presence until the mid‑17th century. The construction of the Convento de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe in 1678 marked a turning point, eventually leading to the development of a major training college for monks sent to evangelize across northern Mexico and what is now the southwestern United States.
