Plaza de la Paz

Plaza de la Paz

También se le conoce como Plaza Mayor o Principal.

Durante muchos años en este sitio se ubicaron las sedes de las autoridades civiles y eclesiásticas del entonces Real de Minas de Santa Fe de Guanajuato, así como las residencias de familias opulentas.

La Plaza de la Paz se encuentra asentada sobre un terreno inclinado, en forma de triángulo, y se construyó en el año de 1865.

En su centro destaca, sobre un pedestal de cantera verde, la estatua de La Paz, develada por el presidente Porfirio Díaz en 1903.

Entre los edificios que se encuentran al rededor de la Plaza de la Paz sobresalen la Basílica Colegiata de Nuestra Señora de Guanajuato, el Palacio Municipal, el Palacio Legislativo, el Palacio Otero y la Casa de los Pérez Gálvez.
