Tourism

The city of Chihuahua offers many places of interest for the tourist, especially the history buff, including the baroque Metropolitan Cathedral, seat of the Archdiocese (and the resting place of St Peter de Jesus Maldonado, a Cristero martyr of the 1930s), dating from the 18th century, the Government Palace from the early 19th century, and the city Hall from the turn of the 20th century, on the Plaza de Armas across from the Cathedral.
The Casa Juárez, now known as the Museum of Republican Loyalty, has been faithfully restored to the appearance it had when President Juárez lived here from 1864 to 1867.
The city offers the service of a touristic "trolley el tarahumara" which is a special bus that goes around to all the main museums and monuments in the city Centre, including parks like the Central Park "El Palomar", a large park that has a collection of sculptures, including one depicting three doves (palomas, hence the park's name) and a monumental flagpole, flying one of the largest flags in the Republic. The city is renowned for its classical and modern sculpture, as seen on any main boulevard or avenue. Included are works by Espino, Baltazar, Ponzanelli and Sebastian.
