The Puebla region combines colonial history, pre-Columbian heritage, and contemporary culture across a landscape of urban neighborhoods, archaeological sites, and rural communities. The city itself was founded in the 16th century and retains its colonial layout with churches, palaces, and public squares. The Biblioteca Palafoxiana is one of the oldest libraries in the Americas, housing thousands of historical volumes. Casa del Deán preserves murals from the early Spanish colonial period. Teatro Principal de Puebla is among the oldest theaters on the American continent. The Cantona Archaeological Site documents a pre-Hispanic city with extensive stone roads and ball courts. Natural attractions such as the Tulimán waterfalls near Zacatlán or Los Lavaderos de Almoloya show the surrounding landscape. Within the city, several museums address the colonial era, the Mexican Revolution, and religious art. Traditional markets like Mercado El Parían sell local handicrafts and ceramics. Neighborhoods such as Barrio del Artista draw painters and visitors. Parks, gardens, and modern installations like the Estrella de Puebla observation wheel complement the historical offerings.
