Guadelupe

Zacatecas State - Capital

Location: Five miles from Zacatecas

Guadelupe is almost part of Zacatecas City and a good and easy sidetrip from the city via cab or bus. Of note here is the Franciscan convent and church with its 19 C. Capilla de Napoles (Naples Chapel), a highly gilded construction in the shape of a cross. It also houses the Viceroyalty Museum of Guadalupe exhibiting art of the colonial era.

Next to the convent is the Museo Regional de Historia (Regional History Museum) exhibiting a number of period carriages and antique cars from all over the country. Guadelupe also boasts a Silversmith school, the Centro Platero de Zacatecas, with a number of silver workshops in operation.
