Morelia Municipality, Administrative division in Morelia, Mexico
The Morelia Municipality spans across the north-central region of Michoacán state, encompassing both urban settlements and rural territories at 1,950 meters above sea level.
Founded as Valladolid in 1541, the municipality received its current name in 1828 to honor José María Morelos, a leader in Mexico's independence movement.
The municipal government organizes numerous events throughout the year, including the International Music Festival and the International Film Festival in the historic center.
The H. Ayuntamiento de Morelia provides digital services for residents, including property tax payments, land consultations, and electronic billing through their official website.
The municipality contains over 1,400 historical buildings constructed with pink stone, forming an orthogonal grid that adapts to the natural topography of the region.
