Aguascalientes City, Capital city in central Mexico.

Four historical neighborhoods form the center of Aguascalientes: El Encino, San Marcos, Guadalupe, and La Salud, each with distinct architectural characteristics.

Spanish families founded Aguascalientes in 1575, naming it Villa de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de las Aguas Calientes due to its thermal springs.

The San Marcos Fair attracts seven million visitors annually, making it the largest fair in Mexico with exhibitions, concerts, and traditional events.

The city contains two major Nissan manufacturing facilities that produce the majority of Mexican-made automobiles, contributing to regional economic growth.

The Exedra monument in Plaza Patria, constructed in 1808, marks the geographical center of Mexico and stands as a tribute to Spanish King Carlos IV.
