Tlaquepaque, Administrative district in San Pedro Tlaquepaque, Mexico.

The streets of Tlaquepaque feature colonial mansions, ceramic workshops, and glass-making studios spread throughout the urban landscape.

Founded in 1530, Tlaquepaque emerged from a settlement of Tonalteca Indians before Spanish colonizers established control under Nuño de Guzmán's leadership.

The Regional Ceramics Museum exhibits collections of pottery and blown glass, representing centuries of local craftsmanship passed through generations.

The electric urban train system and multiple avenues connect Tlaquepaque with other parts of the Guadalajara metropolitan area.

El Refugio Cultural Center, transformed from a former hospital, now functions as a central venue for art exhibitions and community gatherings.
