City vista from Pipila Monument
The monument on the summit commemorates the Indian miner, Pipila, who torched the gates of the Alhóndiga, only to be mown down by a hail of bullets.

Capital of the Guanajuato State, it is a historical and picturesque town of agreeable little plazas, streets lined with stairs and houses of pastel-colored facades and balconies trimmed with iron work, and flower-filled window boxes, located about a five-hour drive northwest of Mexico City. The town is a maze of cobblestone streets and alleys that wind around steep hillsides upon a small ravine, opening into vistas of beautiful churches and small plazas.
