Saltillo, Capital city in northeastern Mexico

Saltillo occupies a wide valley at 5,500 feet elevation, with mountains surrounding the urban area and a semi-arid climate supporting regional agriculture.

The Spanish settlement, established in 1577 by Captain Francisco de Sosa, developed from a small village into the capital of Coahuila y Tejas by 1824.

The Cathedral of Santiago, constructed in the 18th century, stands as the finest representation of colonial religious architecture in northern Mexico.

The city maintains extensive transportation networks, including an airport, major highways connecting to Monterrey and Mexico City, and public bus services.

Manufacturing facilities in and around Saltillo produce traditional woolen serapes alongside modern automobiles, combining heritage crafts with industrial development.
