Tepatitlán de Morelos, Administrative center in Jalisco, Mexico

The city extends across an area marked by elevation changes from 977 to 2655 meters, creating distinct geographical zones throughout the municipality.

Spanish colonization of Tepatitlán began in 1530 under Captain Pedro Almíndez Chirinos, transforming the settlement from its Otomi and Tecuexe indigenous roots.

The Parroquia de San Francisco de Asís, constructed between 1742 and 1775, stands in the center with neoclassical elements and three prominent domes.

The city maintains its position as Mexico's primary egg production center, while also supporting substantial pork farming and tequila manufacturing operations.

The city hall features architectural elements combining near-neoclassic and French Baroque styles, including a detailed mural depicting regional historical events.
