Chihuahua City, Capital city in northern Mexico
The city extends across a valley of the Sierra Madre Occidental at 4,800 feet elevation, bordering the Chihuahuan Desert.
Spanish colonists established this mining center in 1709, which later became a strategic location during the Mexican Independence and Revolution periods.
The Federal Palace houses multiple murals depicting regional history, while the 18th-century cathedral displays an extensive collection of ecclesiastical art.
The manufacturing sector produces automobiles, electronics, and medical supplies, while the agricultural area processes cattle, apples, and chile peppers.
The Quinta Luz museum exhibits the car where revolutionary leader Pancho Villa met his death in 1923, complete with original bullet holes.
