Pasaje Histórico 5 de Mayo, Underground museum in central Puebla, Mexico
The 477-meter tunnel museum contains historical exhibits displaying artifacts from colonial times through modern Mexican history within stone-vaulted passageways.
Built during the second half of the 17th century, this tunnel formed part of a network spanning 10-12 kilometers beneath Puebla used for moving Catholic Church valuables.
The museum exhibits showcase colonial artifacts including bullets, horseshoes, buckles, knives, bayonets, glass containers, and scales found during archaeological excavations.
The tunnel connects the Barrio de Xanenetla neighborhood to Fort Loreto and Guadalupe, providing visitors access to multiple historical sites through one underground route.
The passageway features different architectural periods visible through various arch systems, including semicircular arches built with flaky stones and polished rocks.
