Ciudad Guzmán, Commercial center in Jalisco, Mexico
Ciudad Guzmán sits between Sierra Tapalpa and Cerro del Tigre mountains at 1,507 meters elevation, near Lake Zapotlán in south-central Jalisco.
Spanish conquistadors established control of this area in 1526, transforming the pre-Columbian kingdom of Zapotlán into a colonial settlement.
The city earned recognition as the Athens of Jalisco for producing notable intellectuals, including muralist José Clemente Orozco and composer Consuelo Velázquez.
The municipality connects to Guadalajara 138 kilometers north and Colima 134 kilometers south through major highways, facilitating regional commerce.
The Cathedral of San José underwent structural modifications following the 1985 earthquake, with its towers rebuilt at a reduced height.
