The perfect stroke of its convents, parish churches and squares seems to have been painted by the very hands of angels.
An exceptional geographical location
The fourth most important city of Mexico, it is also the natural bridge between Veracruz – the main port of entry to the country – and Mexico City – the economical and political center.
An air of innovation
The city is home of outstanding educational centers and universities, such as UDLA (Universidad de las Américas), UPAEP (Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla) and BUAP (Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla).
