San Luis Potosí, Colonial city center in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
The city stands at an elevation of 2,000 meters, featuring pink quarry stone buildings and numerous historical structures across its downtown district.
San Luis Potosí gained importance during the silver mining era of Mexico, with Benito Juarez establishing government operations here in 1863 and 1867.
The National Mask Museum preserves Mexican heritage through exhibitions of traditional masks, while the Potosi Regional Museum presents local history since evangelization.
The international airport lies 7 miles from downtown, with regular connections to major Mexican cities and convenient access to the urban attractions.
Seven distinct neighborhoods form the original layout of San Luis Potosí, each maintaining its individual architectural characteristics from the colonial period.
