San Ángel, Colonial neighborhood in Álvaro Obregón, Mexico.

San Ángel features cobblestone streets lined with colonial buildings, art galleries, and mansions decorated with ceramic tiles and large wooden doors.

The area evolved from a rural settlement called Tenanitla to a monastery complex in 1613, later becoming part of Mexico City's urban expansion.

The Saturday art bazaar at Plaza San Jacinto presents works from Mexican artists, surrounded by galleries and museums displaying colonial art collections.

The neighborhood connects to Mexico City's public transportation system, with numerous restaurants, cafes, and boutique shops concentrated around Plaza del Carmen.

The El Carmen monastery complex contains three ceramic-tiled domes and houses a museum displaying artifacts from the Carmelite order since 1955.
