ʻO ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Zacatecas ka mea nui ma kahi mauna 2,667 m kiʻekiʻe me kahi pali nui o ka pōhaku ola i kapa ʻia ʻo La Bufa. ʻO ka helu o Santiago de la Laguna, ʻo Don José de Rivera Bernárdez, ka mea kākau moʻolelo o ke kūlanakauhale a me ka mea haipule o ka Puʻupaʻa, kahi manaʻo hoʻopunipuni nani o ke kūkulu ʻana i hale pule ma ka puʻu o La Bufa, kahi e hoʻomana ʻia ai kahi kiʻi o ka Mea Hoʻomaikaʻi, ma ke ʻano he hōʻike ea o nā hanana i hoʻomaka i ka moʻolelo kupaianaha o Zacatecas, ma Kepakemapa 8, 1546.
Ua kūkulu a hoʻolaʻa ʻo Count Rivera i ka Hale Pule o La Bufa, me ke poʻo inoa o Patronage, no ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i kahi i noho ai ka Paniolo i ko lākou mōʻī ka mea like me ka ikaika o nā ʻōiwi. Ua hana ka hale pule i nā hana hou a ua wehe hou ʻia i ka makahiki 1729.
E pili ana i ke kumu o ka Puʻupaʻa, he nui loa a me ka nui maikaʻi, aia ʻekolu mana: ua ʻōlelo ke kahuna Bezanilla y Mier ua lawe ʻo Don Diego de Ibarra iā ia i loko o kāna pūʻali koa. ʻO José de Refugio Gasca - a prebistero hoʻi - kope i nā mea i luna aʻe a kuhikuhi ʻo ia ka Mōʻī Felipe II, nāna i hoʻouna mai, a ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ernesto de la Torre he makana ia i hana ʻia ma 1586 i ka Real de Minas e ka Pīhopa o Guadalajara. ʻOiai he nui nā moʻolelo e pili ana i kona kumu, ʻo ka Puʻupaʻa o Patrocinio no laila he kiʻi e neʻe i ka hoʻomana, e hoʻoulu i nā manaʻo haipule a piha i ka ʻoluʻolu.
I ka make ʻana o Count of Santiago de la Luna (1762), ʻo ia ka mea nāna i mālama i ka mālama ʻana i ka luakini, ua ʻaihue ʻia ka sacristan o ka hale hoʻāno "e ka diabolō" i ke kiʻi o ka Puʻupaʻa a holo i ke kūlanakauhale. I ka wā i hana ai ʻo ia i ke kapu, hoʻomaka nā bele o nā hale pule a pau me ka ʻole o ke kani ʻana o ka bele, piha i ka makaʻu ua waiho ʻo ia i ke kiʻi ma nā puka o ka hale pule o Los Remedios.
ʻO ia a hiki i Kepakemapa 10, 1795 kahi haʻalele nui i haʻalele i ka hale pule o La Merced i alakaʻi i ke kiʻi i kona hale pule. He mea pono e hoʻomālamalama i kona alo i ke kakahiaka nui 18th baroque, e hōʻike ana i ka wahine puʻupaʻa me ke keiki ma kona lima, i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā kukuna, ma ke kua o nā pōhaku me kekahi mau mea ulu hihiu; ma kona mau wāwae he keruba me nā ʻeheu e hohola ʻia e like me ka papa. Mai kahi sphere me ke keʻa, iho i lalo nā moʻo manoanoa i ka neʻe ʻana o ka neʻe ʻana, e hana ana i kahi ʻano pale no ka wahine puʻupaʻa, ma nā ʻaoʻao o kona ʻano like me nā lattices i ʻike ʻia, ʻo ka mahina kekahi a ʻo ka lā kekahi.
