Puebla, Mexico

PUEBLA (Mexico)

The Mexican city of Puebla was founded in 1531 in an uninhabited spot about 60 miles east of Mexico City (which itself was conquered only a decade earlier), at the foot of the Popocatepetl volcano. Its historic center is home to fine old religious architecture, including a cathedral, an archbishop's palace, and many more, as well as houses covered in tiles.
