In 1791, the University of Guadalajara was established in
the city, which was then the capital of Nueva Galicia. The
inauguration was held in 1792 at the site of the old Santo
Tomas College. While the institution was founded during
the 18th century, it would not be fully developed until the
20th, starting in 1925. In 1794, the Hospital Real de San
Miguel de Beln, or simply the Hospital de Beln, was
opened The hospital was opened in 2016.[12]
Guadalajaras economy during the 18th century was
based on agriculture and the production of non-durable
goods such as textiles, shoes and food products.[14]
Guadalajara remained the capital of Nueva Galicia with
some modications until the Mexican War of Independence.[12] After Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla decided not to
attack Mexico City, despite early successes, he retreated
to Guadalajara in late 1810. Initially, he and his army
were welcome in the city, as living conditions had become dicult for workers and Hidalgo promised to lower
taxes and put an end to slavery. However, violence by the
rebel army to city residents, especially royalists, soured
the welcome.[15] Hidalgo did sign a proclamation ending
slavery, which was honored in the country since after the
war. During this time, he founded the newspaper El Despertador Americano, dedicated to the insurgent cause.[12]

1 HISTORY
side the city. Hidalgo had between 80,000 and 100,000
men and 95 cannons, but the better-trained royalists won,
decimating the insurgent army, forcing Hidalgo to ee
toward Aguascalientes. Guadalajara remained in royalist
hands until nearly the end of the war.[16][17]
After the state of Jalisco was erected in 1823, the city
became its capital.[12] In 1844, General Mariano Paredes
y Arrillaga initiated a revolt against the government of
President Antonio Lpez de Santa Anna, which the president managed to quell personally. However, while Santa
Anna was in Guadalajara, a revolt called the Revolution
of the Three Hours brought Jos Joaqun Herrera to the
presidency and put Santa Anna into exile.[18] During the
Reform War, President Benito Jurez had his government
here in 1856. French troops entered the city during the
French Intervention in 1864, and the city was retaken by
Mexican troops in 1866.[12]
Despite the violence, the 19th century was a period of
economic, technological and social growth for the city.[19]
After Independence, small-scale industries developed,
many of them owned by immigrants from Europe. Rail
lines connecting the city to the Pacic coast and north to
the United States intensied trade and allowed products
from rural areas of Jalisco state to be shipped. Ranch
culture became a very important aspect of Jaliscos and
Guadalajaras identity since this time.[14] From 1884 to
1890, electrical service, railroad service and the Observatory were established.[12]
Guadalajara again experienced substantial growth after
the 1930s,[20] and the rst industrial park was established in 1947.[12] Its population surpassed one million in
1964,[12] and by the 1970s it was Mexicos second largest
city[20] and the largest in western Mexico.[14] Most of the
modern citys urbanization took place between the 1940s
and the 1980s, with the population doubling every ten
years until it stood at 2.5 million in 1980.[21] The population of the municipality has stagnated, and even declined,
slowly but steadily since the early 1990s.[6]

rather than an increase in the population density of the
city. Migrants coming into Guadalajara from the 1940s
to the 1980s were mostly from rural areas and lived in
the city center until they had enough money to buy property. This property was generally bought in the edges
of the city, which were urbanizing into fraccionamientos, or residential areas.[22] In the 1980s, it was described
as a divided city east to west based on socioeconomic
class. Since then, the city has evolved into four sectors,
which are still more-or-less class centered. The upper
classes tend to live in Hidalgo and Jurez in the northwest and southwest, while lower classes tend to live in the
city center, Libertad in the north east and southeast in
Reforma. However, lower class development has developed on the citys periphery and upper and middle classes
are migrating toward Zapopan, making the situation less
neatly divided.(napolitano21-22).[23]

Arrests were made to indict those responsible for the

Ultimately, however, these people were cleared of all

made but they were successfully resisted.[30]

Main article: 1992 Guadalajara explosions

On April 22, 1992, gasoline explosions in the sewer system over four hours destroyed 8 km (5 mi) of streets in
the downtown district of Analco.[25] Gante Street was the
most damaged. Ocially, 206 people were killed, nearly
500 injured and 15,000 were left homeless. The estimated monetary damage ranges between $300 million
and $1 billion. The aected areas can be recognized by Morelos Street, looking toward the Hospicio Cabaas

Jurez Avenue, in central Guadalajara

The Rotonda de los Hombres Ilustres (Rotunda of Illustrious Men) is a monument made of quarried stone, built
in 1952 to honor the memory of distinguished people
from Jalisco. A circular structure of 17 columns surrounds 98 urns containing the remains of those honored.
Across the street is the municipal palace which was built
in 1952. It has four faades of quarried stone. It is mostly
of Neoclassical design with elements such as courtyards,
entrances and columns that imitate the older structures of
the city.[12][33]

The Palace of the State Government is in Churrigueresque and Neoclassical styles and was begun in the
17th century and nished in 1774. The interior was completely remodeled after an explosion in 1859. This building contains murals by Jos Clemente Orozco, a native of
Jalisco, including Lucha Social, Circo Poltico, Las
Fuerzas Ocultas and Hidalgo which depicts Miguel Hihis head in

the main entrance hall. Among these murals is Hombre del Fuego (Man of Fire), considered to be one of
Orozcos nest works.[12][33]
Mammoth skeleton at the Regional Museum

The Jalisco Regional Museum (Ex seminary de San Jos)

was built at the beginning of the 18th century to be the
Seminario Conciliar de San Jos. From 1861 to 1914,
it housed a school called Liceo de Varones. In 1918, it
became the Museum of Fine Arts. In 1976, it was completely remodeled for its present use. The museum displays its permanent collection in 16 halls, 15 of which are
dedicated to Paleontology, Pre-History, and Archeology.
One of the prized exhibits is a complete mammoth skeleton. The other two halls are dedicated to painting and history. The painting collection includes works by Juan Correa, Cristbal de Villalpando and Jos de Ibarra.[12][33]
Between the Cathedral and the Hospicio is the large
Plaza Tapata which covers 70,000 m2. Its centerpiece
is the large Quetzalcotl sculpture/fountain.[12] Southeast
of this plaza is the Mercado Libertad, also called the Mercado de San Juan de Dios, one of the largest traditional
markets in Mexico. The Temple of San Juan de Dios, a
Baroque church built in the 17th century, is next to the
market.[33]

O this east-west axis are other signicant constructions.

The Legislative Place is Neoclassical and was originally
built in the 18th century. It was reconstructed in 1982.
The Palace of Justice was nished in 1897. The Old University Building was a Jesuit college named Santo Toms
de Aquino. It was founded in 1591. It became the second Mexican University in 1792. Its main portal is of yellow stone. The Casa de los Perros (House of the Dogs)
was constructed in 1896 in Neoclassical design.[12] On
Avenida Juarez is the Sanctuary of Nuestra Seora del
Carmen which was founded between 1687 and 1690 and
remodeled completely in 1830. It retains its original coat
of arms of the Carmelite Order as well as sculptures of
the prophets Elijah and Elisha. Adjoining it is what is left
of the Carmelite monastery, which was one of the richest
in New Spain.[33]

At the far east end is the Plaza de los Mariachis and

the Ex-Hospicio Cabaas. The Plaza de los Mariachis
is faced by restaurants where one can hear live mariachis
play, especially at night. The Ex-Hospicio Cabaas extends along the entire east side of the Plaza. This building
was constructed by Manuel Tols beginning in 1805 under orders of Carlos III. It was inaugurated and began its
function as an orphanage in 1810, in spite of the fact that
it would not be nished until 1845. It was named after

Guadalajara has the third-largest economy and industrial

infrastructure in Mexico[35] and contributes 37% of the
state of Jaliscos total gross production. Its economic
base is strong and well diversied, mainly based on commerce and services, although the manufacturing sector
plays a dening role.[36] It is ranked in the top ten in Latin
America in gross domestic product and the third highest
ranking in Mexico. In its 2007 survey entitled Cities of
the Future, FDi magazine ranked Guadalajara highest
among major Mexican cities and designated Guadalajara
as having the second strongest economic potential of any
major North American city behind Chicago. FDI ranked
it as the most business-friendly Latin American city in
2007.[37]

ware, electronic and digital components in Mexico. Telecom and computer equipment from Guadalajara accounts
for about a quarter of Mexicos electronics exports.[41]
Companies such as General Electric, IBM, Intel Corporation, Freescale Semiconductor, Hitachi Ltd., HewlettPackard, Siemens, Flextronics, Oracle, TCS, Cognizant
Technology Solutions and Jabil Circuit have facilities in
the city or its suburbs.[40] This phenomenon began after
the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). International rms started building facilities in Mexico, especially Guadalajara, displacing Mexican rms, especially in information technology. One of
the problems this has created is that when there are economic downturns, these international rms scale back.[42]
In 2007, fDi magazine stated that Guadalajara has the
second strongest economic potential of any major North
American city, behind only Chicago.[43] The same research noted Guadalajara as a city of the future due
to its youthful population, low unemployment and large
number of recent foreign investment deals; it was found
to be the third most business-friendly city in North
America.[43]
The city has to compete with China, especially for electronics industries which rely on high volume and low
wages. This has caused the it to move toward highmix, mid-volume and value-added services, such as automotives. However, its traditional advantage of proximity to the U.S. market is one reason Guadalajara stays
competitive.[41] Mexico ranked third in 2009 in Latin
America for the export of information technology services, behind Brazil and Argentina. This kind of service
is mostly related to online and telephone technical support. The major challenge this sector has is the lack of
university graduates who speak English.[44]

In 2009 Moodys Investors Service assigned ratings of

Ba1 (Global scale, local currency) and A1.mx (Mexican
national scale). During the prior ve years, the municipalitys nancial performance had been mixed but had begun
to stabilize in the later two years. Guadalajara manages

and growing.[39] Sixty percent of manufactured products
are sold domestically, while forty percent are exported,
mostly to the United States.[40] This makes Guadalajaras
economic fortunes dependent on those of the U.S., both
as a source of investment and as a market for its goods.[41]

Globalization and neoliberal reforms have aected the

form and distribution of commerce in Guadalajara since
the early 1990s. This has led to tensions between traditional markets, such as the Mercardo Libertad, and retailers such as department stores and supermarkets. Local governments in the metropolitan area used to invest
in and heavily regulate traditional markets but this is no
longer the case. To attract private corporate investment,
regulatory control eased and most commercial develop[45]

Guadalajara covers 160,000 m2 (1,722,225.67 sq ft) and
has 220 stores. It contains the two largest movie theaters in Latin America, both with IMAX screens. It hosts
art exhibits and fashion shows, and has an area for cultural workshops. Anchor stores includes Liverpool and
Sears and specialty stores such as Hugo Boss, Max Mara
and Lacoste.[46] Best Buy opened its rst Guadalajara

top oor of the adjacent parking lot. Another Best Buy
store was inaugurated in Ciudadela Lifestyle Center mall,
which was the chains third largest in the world, according
to the company.
Andares is another important commercial center in Zapopan. This $530 million mixed-use complex opened in

(1,400,000+ sq ft) mall oers hundreds of stores, a big
food court located on the second oor and several restaurants at the Paseo Andares.
A large segment of the commercial sector caters to
tourists and other visitors. Recreational tourism is mainly
concentrated in the historic downtown.[12] In addition to
being a cultural and recreational attraction and thanks to
its privileged geographical location, the city serves as an
axis to nearby popular beach destinations such as Puerto
Vallarta, Manzanillo and Mazatln.[38] Other types of visitors include those who travel to attend seminars, conventions and other events in elds such as academic, entertainment, sports and business. The best-known venue for
this purposes is the Expo Guadalajara, a large convention
center surrounded by several hotels. It was built in 1987,
and it is considered the most important convention center
in Mexico.

Exports from the city went from 3.92 billion USD in 1995
to 14.3 billion in 2003.[38] From 1990 to 2000, socioeconomic indicators show that quality of life improved
overall; however, there is still a large gap between the
rich and the poor, and the rich have beneted from the
globalization and privatization of the economy more than
the poor.[45] International investment has aected the labor market in the metro area and that of the rural towns
and villages that surround it. Guadalajara is the distribution center for the region and its demands have led to a
shifting of employment, from traditional agriculture and
crafts to manufacturing and commerce in urban centers.
This has led to mass migration from the rural areas to the
metropolitan area.[47]

Climate

Under the Kppen climate classication, Guadalajara has

a humid subtropical climate (Cwa) that is quite close to
a tropical climate, featuring dry, warm winters and hot,
wet summers. Guadalajaras climate is inuenced by its
high altitude and the general seasonality of precipitation
patterns in western North America.
Although the temperature is warm year-round, Guadalajara has very strong seasonal variation in precipitation.

ates the temperatures, resulting in cooler days and nights
during this period. The highest temperatures are usually
reached in May averaging 33 C (91 F), but can reach up
to 39 C (102 F) just before the onset of the wet season.
March tends to be the driest month and July the wettest,
with an average of 273 millimetres (10.7 in) of rain, over
a quarter of the annual average of about 1,002 millimetres (39.4 in).
During the rainy season, afternoon storms are very common and can sometimes bring hail urries to the city,
especially toward late August or September. Winters
are relatively warm despite the citys altitude, with January daytime temperatures reaching about 25 C (77 F)
and nighttime temperatures about 10 C (50 F). However, the outskirts of the city (generally those close to the
Primavera Forest) experience in average cooler temperatures than the city itself. There, temperatures around
0 C (32 F) can be recorded during the coldest nights.
Frost may also occur during the coldest nights, but temperatures rarely fall below 0 C (32 F) in the city, making it an uncommon phenomenon. Cold fronts in winter
can sometimes bring light rain to the city for several days
in a row. Snowfall is extraordinarily rare, with the last
recorded one occurring in December 1997, which was
the rst time in 116 years, since it last fell in 1881.[57]

Transportation

Guadalajara is well connected by modern highways to

Mexico City, to the northwest and to the major beach resorts of Manzanillo, Mazatln and Puerto Vallarta. The
main highways are Highway 15, which connects the city
northwestward to Nogales, Sonora, via Tepic, Nayarit
and eastwards to Mexico City via Morelia. Highway
80D leads northwest toward Aguascalientes, and Highway 54D leads southward to the coast via Colima.
The city is served by the Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla
International Airport, also known as Guadalajara International Airport (ICAO code: MMGL) opened in 1966. It
is 16 km (10 mi) south of downtown Guadalajara, and it
was built on the Tlajomulco de Zuiga city, way down to

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla International Airport

Chapala. This airport is the third most active in the country (after Mexico City and Cancn) with direct ights to
many Mexican and American cities.[62]
Within the city itself, there are many forms of public
transportation. The Guadalajara light rail/metro system, named SITEUR (Sistema de Tren Elctrico Urbano), Spanish for Urban Electrical Train System, provides rapid transit service within Guadalajara and the
neighboring municipalities of Zapopan and Tlaquepaque.
It consists of two lines: line 1, running from north to
south, with 19 stations, and line 2, running from downtown to the east, with 10 stations. The trains are electric
and have a top speed of 70 km/h (43 mph). Currently
there are 48 articulated cars in service,[63] built in Mexico by Concarril/Bombardier.[64] Construction of a third
line began in 2014. Line 3 will run from Zapopan, in the
northwest, to Tlaquepaque and Tonal, in the southeast,
via the city centre.[65] The Guadalajara Macrobus is a
public transportation system based on the concept of Bus
Rapid Transit, where buses run in lanes specically for
them and have stations for boarding. Phase I of the Macrobs project opened in 2009 with a 16-kilometre-long
(9.9 mi) corridor following Calzada Independencia and
serving 27 stations.[66] The Guadalajara trolleybus system
has been operating since the 1970s,[64][67] and there are

Culture

Main article: Culture of Guadalajara

Guadalajara is the cultural center of western Mexico

Torta ahogada

The Goddess Minerva statue

and the second most important cultural center in the

country.[45] It is nicknamed the Pearl of the West.
While it is a modern city, it has kept many of the rural traditions of Jalisco, such as mariachi and a strong
sense of Catholicism.[69] Cultural tourism is one of the
most important economic activities, especially in the historic center.[12] Guadalajara is a center of learning with
six universities, two culinary institutes and a thriving art
scene.[69] Guadalajara has twenty two museums, which
include the Regional Museum of Jalisco, the Wax Museum, the Trompo Mgico childrens museum and the
Museum of Anthropology.[70] The Hospicio Cabaas in
the historic center is a World Heritage Site.[71] For these
attributes and others, the city was named an American
Capital of Culture in 2005.[72]
This city has been the cradle and dwelling of distinguished poets, writers, painters, actors, lm directors and
representatives of the arts, etc., such as Jos Clemente
Orozco, Dr. Atl, Roberto Montenegro, Alejandro Zohn,
Luis Barragn, Carlos Orozco Romero, Federico Fabregat, Raul Anguiano, Juan Soriano, Javier Campos Cabello, Martha Pacheco, Alejandro Colunga, Jos Fors,
Juan Kraeppellin, Davis Birks, Carlos Vargas Pons, Jis,
Trino, Erandini, Enrique Oroz, Rubn Mndez, Mauricio
Toussaint, Scott Neri, Paula Santiago, Edgar Cobian,
L. Felipe Manzano, and (the artist formerly known
as Mevna); the freeplay guitarist and music composer
for the movies El Mariachi and The Legend of Zorro,
Paco Rentera; important exponents of literature such
as Juan Rulfo, Francisco Rojas, Agustn Yez, Elas

The cuisine is a mix of pre-Hispanic and Spanish inuences, like the rest of Mexico, but dishes have their own
avors and are made with local techniques.
One of the main distinguishing dishes is birria. This is
goat or lamb meat cooked in a spicy sauce seasoned with
chili peppers, ginger, cumin, black pepper, oregano and
cloves.[73] The traditional way of preparing birria is to pit
roast the meat and spices wrapped in maguey leaves.[74] It
is served in bowls with minced onion, limes and tortillas.
Another dish that is strongly associated with Guadalajara
is tortas ahogadas, literally drowned tortas (sub sandwiches). This sandwich is an oblong bolillo bun (made
denser in Guadalajara than in the rest of the country)
lled with pork and other ingredients. Then the sandwich
is covered in a red tomato/chili pepper sauce.
Other dishes that are popular here include pozole, a
soup prepared with hominy, chicken or pork and various condiments and pipin, which is a sauce prepared
with peanuts, squash and sesame seed. Bionico is a
popular local dessert. The city hosts the Feria Internacional Gastronoma (International Gastronomy Fair) each
year in September showcasing Mexican and international
cuisines. A large number of restaurants, bars, bakeries
and cafs participate as well as producers of beer, wine
and tequila.[73]
The bread or bolillos mentioned above are usually called
birotes in Guadalajara. They are a crusty dense baguette
style bread like that associated with Italy or France and
are very dierent from the soft bolillos found in most of
the rest of Mexico.
Jericallas are a typical Guadalajara dessert that is similar

while it being delicious. It is made with eggs, milk, sugar,
vanilla, and cinnamon and baked in the oven where it is
broiled to the point that a layer of burnt layer is produced.
The burnt layer at the surface is what makes this dessert
special and delicious.[75]
One of the drinks that is popular in Guadalajara is
Tejuino, a refreshing drink that contains a corn fermented
base with sugarcane, lime, salt, and chili powder.[76]
Mariachi music is strongly associated with Guadalajara
both in Mexico and abroad even though the musical
style originated in the nearby town of Cocula, Jalisco.
The connection between the city and mariachi began in
1907 when an eight-piece mariachi band and four dancers
from the city performed on stage at the presidents residence for both Porrio Daz and the secretary of State
of the United States. This made the music a symbol of
west Mexico, and after the migration of many people
from the Guadalajara area to Mexico City (mostly settling near Plaza Garibaldi), it then became a symbol of
Mexican identity as well[77] Guadalajara hosts the Festival of Mariachi and Charreria, which began in 1994.
It attracts people in the elds of art, culture and politics
from Mexico and abroad. Regularly the best mariachis in
Mexico participate, such as Mariachi Vargas, Mariachi
de Amrica and Mariachi los Camperos de Nati Cano.
Mariachi bands from all over the world participate, coming from countries such as Venezuela, Cuba, Belgium,
Chile, France, Australia, Slovak Republic, Canada and
the United States.

was renovated for the 2011 Pan American Games in anticipation of the crowds visiting. Over 750 mariachi musicians play traditional melodies on the plaza, and along
with the restaurants and other businesses, the plaza supports more than 830 families.[81] A recent innovation has
been the fusion of mariachi melodies and instruments
with rock and roll performed by rock musicians in the
Guadalajara area. An album collecting a number of these
melodies was produced called Mariachi Rock-O. There
are plans to take these bands on tour in Mexico, the
United States and Europe.[82]

Hospicio Cabaas

The events of this festival take place in venues all

over the metropolitan area.[78][79] and includes a parade
with oats.[79] In August 2009, 542 mariachi musicians
played together for a little over ten minutes to break the
worlds record for largest mariachi group. The musicians
played various songs ending with two classic Mexican
songs "Cielito Lindo" and "Guadalajara. The feat was
performed during the XVI Encuentro Internacional del
Mariachi y la Charreria. The prior record was 520 musicians in 2007 in San Antonio, Texas.[80]
In the historic center of the city is the Plaza de los Mariachis, named such as many groups play here. The plaza

The city is home to a renowned symphony orchestra. The

Orquesta Filarmnica de Jalisco (Jalisco Philarmonic Orchestra) was founded by Jos Roln in 1915. It held
concerts from that time until 1924, when state funding
was lost. However, the musicians kept playing to keep
the orchestra alive. This eventually caught the attention
of authorities and funding was restated in 1939. Private
funding started in the 1940s and in 1950, an organization
called Conciertos Guadalajara A. C. was formed to continue fundraising for the orchestra. In 1971, the orchestra became aliated with the Department of Fine Arts
of the State of Jalisco. The current name was adopted
in 1988, as it became the orchestra for the state, not just
the city of Guadalajara although it remains based here.
International soloists such as Paul Badura-Skoda, Claudio Arrau, Jrg Demus, Henryck Szeryng, Nicanor Zabaleta, Plcido Domingo, Kurt Rydl and Alfred Brendel
have performed with the organization. Today the orchestra is under the direction of Marco Parisotto.[83]

The city is also host to several dance and ballet companies such as the Chamber Ballet of Jalisco, the Folkloric
Ballet of the University of Guadalajara, and University
of Guadalajara Contemporary Ballet.

to promote technological advances in agriculture. The

event also has separate sections for the authentic Mexican cuisine, exhibitions of livestock, charreria and other
competitions that display the Jalisco traditions.[91]

Guadalajara is also known for several large cultural festivals. The International Film Festival of Guadalajara[84] is
a yearly event which happens in March. It mostly focuses
on Mexican and Latin American lms; however lms
from all over the world are shown. The event is sponsored
by the Universidad de Guadalajara, CONACULTA, the
Instituto Mexicano de Cinematographa as well as the
governments of the cities of Guadalajara and Zapopan.
The 2009 festival had over 200 lms shown in more than
16 theatres and open-air forums, such as the inatable
screens set up in places such as Chapultepec, La Rambla
Catalua and La Minerva. In that year, the event gave out
awards totaling 500,000 USD. The event attracts names
such as Mexican director Guillermo del Toro, Greek director Constantin Costa-Gavras, Spanish actor Antonio
Banderas and U.S. actor Edward James Olmos.[85]

Despite the Guadalajara area historically being an ethnically Caxcan region, the Nahua peoples form the majority of Guadalajaras indigenous population.[92] There
are several thousand indigenous language speakers in
Guadalajara although the majority of the indigenous population is integrated within the general population and can
speak Spanish.[92]

The Guadalajara International Book Fair is the largest

Spanish language book fair in the world held each year
over nine days at the Expo Guadalajara.[86][87] Over
300 publishing rms from 35 countries regularly attend,
demonstrating the most recent productions in books,
videos and new communications technologies. The event
awards prizes such as the Premio FIL for literature, the
Premio de Literatura Sor Juana Ins de la Cruz, also for
literature, and the Reconocimento al Mrito Editorial for
publishing houses. There is an extensive exposition of
books and other materials in Spanish, Portuguese and
English, covering academia, culture, the arts and more
for sale. More than 350,000 people attend from Mexico and abroad.[86] In 2009, Nobel prize winner Orhan
Pamuk, German childrens author Cornelia Funke and
Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa participated with
about 500 other authors present.[88] Activities include
book presentations, academic talks, forums, and events
for children.[87]

10 Architecture
The style of architecture prevalent in Europe during the
founding of Guadalajara is paralleled in the citys colonial
buildings. The Metropolitan Cathedral and Teatro Degollado are the purest examples of neoclassical architecture.
The historical center hosts religious and civil colonial
buildings, which are noted for their architectural and historical signicance and are a rich mix of styles which are
rooted in indigenous cultural contributions (mainly from
Ute origin), incorporated in the Mozarabic and castizo,
and later in modern European inuences (mainly French
and Italian) and American (specically, from the United
States). The French-inspired Lafayette neighborhood
has many ne examples of early 20th-century residences
that were later converted into boutiques and restaurants.

Guadalajaras historical center has an excellent assortment of museums, theaters, galleries, libraries, auditoriums and concert halls, particular mention may be made to
Hospicio Cabaas (which dates from the 18th century),
the Teatro Degollado (considered the oldest opera house
in Mexico), the Teatro Galeras and the Teatro Diana.
The Hospicio Cabaas, which is home to some of the
paintings (murals and easel) by Jos Clemente Orozco,
was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997.

Starting in October 2014, Guadalajara rejoined the Liga

Mexicana del Pacco baseball tournament with the
Charros de Jalisco franchise in play at the Athletic Stadium. Charreada, the Mexican form of rodeo and closely
tied to mariachi music, is popular here. The biggest place
for Charreada competitions, the VFG Arena, is located
near the Guadalajara Airport founded by singer Vicente
Fernndez. Every September 15, charros make a parade
in the downtown streets to celebrate the Charro and Mariachi Day.[78]

Guadalajara hosted the 2011 Pan American Games.[94]

Since winning the bid to host the Games, the city had
been undergoing extensive renovations. The games
brought in more than 5,000 athletes from approximately
42 countries from the Americas and the Caribbean.
Sports included aquatics, football, racquetball and 27

eral infrastructure. The center of the city was repaved

and new hotels were constructed for the approximately
22,000 rooms that were needed in 2011. The new bus
rapid transit (BRT) system, Macrobs, was launched in
March and runs along Avenida Independencia. The PanAmerican village was built around the Bajio Zone. After the Games, the buildings will be used for housing.
There are already 13 existing venues in Guadalajara that
the games will use, including the Jalisco Stadium, UAG
3 de Marzo Stadium, and the UAG Gymnasium. Eleven
new sporting facilities were created for the event. Other
works included a second terminal in the airport, a highway to Puerto Vallarta and a bypass for the southern part
of the city.[95]
