Some more on Puebla

, , ,

After a week in the city of Puebla, which is like "the door to the south" of mexico, from Puebla you know that already are in the south of Mexico, but still near the center or in the center.

A fountain near my hotel, in a park, the design of the fountain is great, the architect used tiles (something emblematic of Puebla), a little dirty, but still can be pretty, creepie at night (not enough light)



The red cross building, and school of nurses, this looks like a hospital in some african country in the middle of war, it definatly look colonial style in a war situation.



A pedestrian bridge, I needed to use to get to the Conventions center.



A monument... no comments.



The church of San Francisco, very nice colours, and they used tiles in the facade.



A very nice abandoned building (like many) with some paint, you can build a museum, a galeria, coffee shop, restaurant or anything else, but for now just used for graffiti and adverting



Near the city's theater (one of the oldest theaters in the city)



The "Zocalo" with a fountain and the Cathedral on the back.



The main altar in the cathedral



The organ in the coir inside the cathedral



The coir chairs (the first line)



The governor mansion, the governor is known as "El Gober Precioso" which means "The Precious Gov" (due to an scandal)



5 de mayo street, which is like the pedestrian street, full of stores and small coffee places


A protest agains the state goverment.
