Zacatecas
In 1548, the Mexican city of Zacatecas was founded to provide shelter to the silver miners. Between the 16th and 17th centuries, the city reached the height of its prosperity. Built on the slopes of a narrow valley, the city has narrow streets that climb the steep hillsides. Many colorful buildings can be found in the old city center, most of which are from the 18th century. The old structure includes the beautiful Cathedral and the Church of Santo Domingo which has an ornately sculpted facade.
