Welcome to colonial Mexico. Welcome to Taxco.

Taxco is built on hills with winding cobblestone streets.

A leading tourist resort, Taxco is especially noted for its preserved and restored 17th and 18th century colonial buildings; it was designated a national monument in 1928.
Much frequented by artists (and CancunSteve who took the photos you see on this page), the town has a school of arts, many historic town houses, and the baroque Santa Prisca Church. Fiestas are held throughout the year. The original Tlachco, a Native American settlement and mining town dating from the 15th century, was nearby to the southeast; the Spanish conqueror Hernán Cortés established the new silver-mining center in the 1520s. After 1717 Taxco became a leading silver center.
