Chihuahua City
The capital of the State of Chihuahua, Chihuahua City - originally named San Felipe de Real de Chihuahua and today affectionately called the "Lady of the Desert" - was founded in 1709 and now is a charming mixture of colonial architecture and modern industry.
The Founding Father of Mexico, hero of the Independence movement, father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, was kept prisoner in this city, in a building which is now the Government Palace; he was executed in its central patio on June 11, 1811.
Below are a few suggestions for things to do and see, lodgings in town and only some of the fine restaurants available in the City of Chihuahua.
