Considered as one of the most beautiful cities in mexico, El Fuerte (The Fort) was founded in 1564. In those times, and even until the California Gold Rush of 1848, it served as the gateway to North America. It also became a trading post for gold and silver mining. For the next three centuries, it was the most flourishing commercial center in the  north-western Mexico.

For a couple of years from 1824 to 1826, El Fuerte was Arizona’s capital city before it became Sinaloa’s in 1831. Its name was derived from the fortress 100meters by 100 meters thick built in 1610 by Capt. Diego Martinez de Hurdaide to protect the town from Indian uprisings.

At present, El Fuerte is a pleasant town to stroll around. There are also a number of historical sites that could evoke some degree of colonial atmosphere in one who wants to soak in the ambience and charm of the city. You may want to check out the following sights next time you find yourself in this place. There is the City Hall, the Main Plaza (Plaza de Armas) with its Wrought Iron Kiosk, House of Culture, Church of the Sacred Heart (photo shown above), Home of Congress, the Posada Hidalgo hotel, the Mansion of the Orrantia Family, to name a few.

Once a year on July 25th, as part of Tastoan tradition in Tonala, mexico dozens of Tonala’s male residents transform themselves into the legendary Tastoanes to partake in a performance that represents their struggle against Spain’s patron saint Santiago (St. James the Greater).The men wear colorful masks and wigs and undergo a transformation of sorts when they dress for the performance. Often called the dance of the Tastoanes, it is commonly interpreted as the representation of Spanish conquest of Mexico in the 1500s. Natives say the term Tastoan is derived from the Nahuatl word Tlatoani, which means lord or spokesperson. Therefore, the present-day Tastoanes represent the indigenous leaders who resisted the Spaniards during the conquest.

Located in mexico City a top of the Chapultepec Hill, El Castillo de Chapultepec (Chapultepec Castle) has played a major part in the country’s history. Constructed in 1785 by order of Viceroy Bernardo de Galvez, the castle began construction with Lieutenant Colonel Francisco Bambitelli as chief engineer in-charge of the blueprint. When Bambitelli left for Cuba, Captain Manuel Agustin Mascaro took over the project. Mascaro proceeded at a rapid pace, but later was accused of building a fortress with the intent of rebelling against the Spanish Crown. He died a year later with speculation of foul play. Without an engineer, Spain ordered the building to be auctioned but found no buyers. In 1806, the Chapultepec Castle was finally bought by the municipal government of Mexico City.

During the mexican War of Independence the Castle was abandoned from 1810-1821. In 1833, the building was decreed to become Colegio Militar (Military Academy) from which a watchtower known as Caballero Alto (Tall Knight) as added to its modification.

On 1847, the castle was taken by the U.S. Marines from the defensive futile effort of the Ninos Heroes (Boy Heroes) during the Battle of Chapultepec of the Mexican-American War. The Castle started to acquire its current look when Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico established it as their Imperial residence in 1864. The Emperor hired several architects to achieve a neoclassical style of architecture and make the palace a more habitable place. After the fall of Empero Maximilian I in 1867, the castle was abandoned. Ten years later it became the Astronomical, Meteorological and Magnetic Observatory. After 5 years the observatory was moved and the castle was transformed to the presidential palace as which served eight presidents. Finally on February 3, 1939 President Lazaro Cardenas decreed a law that established Chapultepec Castle as the seat of Museo Nacional de Historia (National Museum of History).
