Great fountain in the central Plaza
Puebla's 1600s cathedral rises in sharp contrast to the modern sculpture. I was told there are over 365 churches in Puebla. I saw quite a few today.
Puebla is known for it's fine tiles. They adorn many of the building around town.
We visited the Biblioteca Palafoxiana. It was started by Bishop Juan de Palafox y Mendoza in 1646. Today ig houses more than 45,000 volumes and 5,345 manuscripts that encompass from the 15th to the 20th century.
Entrance
We also discovered a free classical concert.
I love all the vibrant colored buildings.
Artisan shops
Street performers are everywhere.
Ruth, Denise and Bob checking out the bullet holes.
Churro time. We passed this shop several time, and every time was a line. We gave in, queue up and had some warm delicious churros.
Got to love the creativity. Yes, the walking stick is the only thing that makes contact with the street.
