ArchitectureCalzada Fray Antonio de San MiguelMorelia

One of the most beautiful places of Morelia is a pedestrian stone path that goes from the Sanctuary of Guadalupe (or San Diego) to the fountain of the Tarascas.
It was built in 1732 by Bishop Don Manuel Jose Escalona y Calatayud and was restored by his successor the Friar Antonio de San Miguel who took his name.
Many of the big houses along the Calzada were built as resting places for the wealthy families of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and they have legends and real and fantastic stories.
