Puebla, Municipal administrative district in Puebla, Mexico.

The Puebla municipality extends across 534 square kilometers of central Mexico, encompassing both urban areas and portions of the Malinche volcano.

Spanish colonizers established this municipality on April 16, 1531, strategically positioning it between Mexico City and the port of Veracruz.

The central district holds multiple Renaissance and Mexican Baroque structures built with grey cantera stone and decorated with multicolored Talavera tiles.

The municipality maintains strong industrial activities with the Volkswagen automotive plant and numerous suppliers operating on the outskirts of Puebla City.

Pine-oak forests in the higher elevations of Malinche volcano provide habitat for native wildlife including rabbits, skunks, owls, and buzzards.
