Hidalgo del Parral, Colonial mining city in Chihuahua, Mexico
Located in southern Chihuahua state at 1,718 meters elevation, Hidalgo del Parral extends along the banks of the Parral River with narrow colonial streets.
The settlement, established in 1631, gained prominence after Juan Rangel de Biezma discovered substantial silver deposits, leading King Philip IV to name it Capital of Silver.
The Francisco Villa Museum and El Palacio de Alvarado demonstrate the architectural legacy of the Spanish colonial period through their preserved stone facades and interior designs.
The city connects to major transportation routes between Ciudad Juárez and Mexico City through both railroad services and an eastern highway network.
The annual Cabalgata Villista event recreates the assassination of revolutionary leader Pancho Villa, who met his end in this city during 1923.
