Aguascalientes is the state capital. This colonial treasure protects its history of more than 400 years and offers visitors an experience that harmoniously joins the old and the modern.

The name Aguascaleintes came from the abundance of hot springs that exist in this area. The Villa de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de las Aguas Calientes was founded on October 22, 1575 as a result of the need to protect and offer asylum to those using the Ruta de La Plata (the Silver Route), the route between Zacatecas and Mexico City.

Among its attractions are the Government Palace, whose interior is graced with the four murals painted by Osvaldo Barra, the baroque-Solomonic-style Cathedral Basilica, and the colonial-style House of Culture.

The city has a special colonial feel that can be appreciated in the central Aguascalientes Museum. The works of artists such as Saturnino Herrán, Jesús F. Contreras and Gabriel Fernández Ledezma are displayed here. The José Guadalupe Posada Museum, in the traditional Triana Neighborhood, exhibits samples of the vast work of its namesake. Posada is world-famous for his work, La Catrina. The Cristo Negro, with the inexplicable growth of his left arm, is worshipped in the Encino Temple. Within the temple are walls decorated with the monumental oil paintings, Vía Crucis.

You can also visit the Exoplaza, the Plaza Monumental, considered to be the most beautiful bullfighting ring in Latin America, Parque Héroes Mexicanas, the Aguascalientes Theater, and the Interactive Science and Technology Discovery Museum, with the largest Omnimax screen in the country among others.

The National San Marcos Fair is recognized as the most important fair in the county and is celebrated during the second half of April and the first week of May. The fair offers rooster fights, running of the bulls, charreadas, and cattle ranching, industrial and commercial exhibits, as well as cultural events and other activities.
