Guanajato, the capital of the State of the same name was founded in 1548. The city has always been an important centre for silver mining. In nearby La Raya some of the silvermines are still operating. The setting of the city is very beautiful: is stands in a narrow gorge amid wild and striking scenery. The streets are steep and narrow - some so narrow that it is possible to exchange kisses from opposite balconies, this is where the Callejon del Beso takes its name from. The La Bufa mountain looms over the city.
The main sight in town is the Alhondiga de Granadita A granary that was converted into a fortress and which now houses a series of museums. There are a few interesting colonial churches in town as well, the best ones being the San Francisco -dating from 1671- the San Diego -from 1663- and the La Venalciana 5 km out of the centre in one of the mining areas.
A rather peculiar sight is the Museo de las Momias - a museum with mummies.
