This institution is one of Mexico’s oldest and most esteemed universities.

• The Alley Of The Kiss - Located in the historic center of Guanajuato, Mexico, the Alley of the Kiss is a narrow passage renowned for its romantic legend. The tale recounts the story of two young lovers, Carmen and Carlos, who lived in houses opposite each other across the alley. Despite their families’ feud, they would secretly meet on their balconies to exchange kisses over the narrow gap.

Legend has it that one day, Carmen’s father discovered her kissing Carlos and, in a fit of rage, fatally stabbed her. She died in Carlos’s arms, and he leapt from his balcony to join her in death. Today, the alley is a popular tourist spot, with visitors eager to see the balconies where the tragic lovers met and exchanged kisses.

It is believed that standing on the third step of the staircase in front of Carmen’s house and kissing your partner will bring seven years of good luck in love.

• Museo Regional de Guanajuato Alhóndiga de Granaditas - Initially built in the late 18th century as a grain storage facility, or alhóndiga, for the Spanish colonial government, the Alhóndiga de Granaditas became a symbol of Mexican independence during the Mexican War of Independence.

In 1810, Miguel Hidalgo, a Catholic priest and revolutionary leader, led an assault on the Alhóndiga de Granaditas, which was fortified by Spanish colonial forces. Hidalgo’s forces eventually breached the building, resulting in the deaths of many Spanish defenders, marking a pivotal moment in the fight for Mexican independence.
