Ma ka hoʻomaka ʻana paha o ke kenekulia 16, ua noho ʻia ka ʻāina ʻo Guanajuato e nā ʻōiwi Chichimecas, kahi wahi i kapa ʻia ʻo Paxtitlán, kahi i nui ai nā rana.
ʻOiai ʻo ka poʻe Inditi Tarasse i hele pū me lākou i hāʻawi iā ia i ka inoa o Quanashuato, "wahi mauna o nā rana." Ua ʻike ʻia e ka makahiki 1546 ua ʻimi mua ka Paniolo i ka wahi a ua hoʻokumu ʻo Rodrigo Vázquez i kahi mahi holoholona. Ma waena o kēlā lā a me 1553, ua loaʻa nā ʻike nui o nā waihona gula a me nā kālā kālā, ka mea nui i hana ʻia e Juan de Rayas i ka makahiki 1550. I ka makahiki e hiki mai ana, ʻehā mau kahua hoʻomoana a i ʻole nā aliʻi i noho ma kahi e mālama ai i nā maina hou. , i waena o lākou ka mea nui i kapa ʻia ʻo Santa Fe.
ʻOiai ʻo Chichimecas i hoʻouka me kekahi alapine, ua kūkulu ʻia ʻo Real de Minas i ke keʻena mayor ma 1574 e lawe ana i ka inoa o Villa de Santa Fe ma Real y Minas de Guanajuato. I ka makahiki 1679, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi blazon a i ʻole kapa o nā mea kaua a ma 1741 ua hāʻawi ʻia i ke poʻo inoa o ke kūlanakauhale no "nā ʻoluʻolu maikaʻi i hāʻawi ʻia e kāna mau minia kālā a me nā gula". Ua kau inoa ʻo King Felipe V i ka palapala a kapa ʻia he aliʻi hanohano a kūpaʻa hoʻi ʻo Minas de Santa Fe de Guanajuato.
Ua hoʻokau kēia wahi i kahi hoʻomohala e hoʻokumu i nā ʻano kaona ma muli o nā ʻano kīnā o ka ʻāina, hoʻololi i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ia wahi a me ke kaha kiʻi ʻana i nā alanui kūikawā, nā pā, nā ʻaha, nā alaloa a me nā alapiʻi o nā helehelena keu, kahi kūlana kūpono i kulanakauhale e noʻonoʻo ʻia kekahi o nā mea mahalo nui loa i ko mākou ʻāina.
I ka mua, ua hana ʻia ia ʻehā mau kaiāulu: ʻo Marfil a i ʻole ʻo Santiago, ʻo Tepetapa, ʻo Santa Ana a me Santa Fe; Manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka mea hope loa ka mea mua loa a aia ma kahi o nā kaiāulu o La Pastita i kēia manawa. Hoʻokomo pū ʻia ka hoʻopili kūlanakauhale i kahi kahawai e hele ma waena o ka wahi o ka noho, hoʻolilo iā ia i Calle Real, ʻo ia ke axis nui o ke kūlanakauhale a ma nā ʻaoʻao, ma nā pali o nā puʻu pali, kūkulu ʻia nā hale o kona poʻe noho. ʻO kēia alanui, i kēia lā i kapa ʻia ʻo Belaunzarán kekahi o nā ala nani loa no nā ʻāpana o lalo, kona mau alahaka a me nā kihi ʻoluʻolu e hana ai i kāna ala hele. ʻO nā kūkulu nui a waiwai nui i hana ʻia i ka quarry a pink, ʻoiai no ka adobe ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa a me nā paia paku i hoʻohana ʻia, kahi hiʻohiʻona i hāʻawi ʻia i ke kala ʻano e kau ʻia mai nā leo ʻulaʻula a i nā leo ʻōmaʻomaʻo, e hele ana i nā mea ʻalani; Ua hoʻohana ʻia ka lepo lepo stratified no nā pavement, stairways a me nā veneers.
ʻO ka opulence a ke kūlanakauhale i hiki aku ai i ke kenekulia 18, mahalo i ka waihona kālā o ke gula a me ke kālā, i hōʻike ʻia i loko o kāna kiʻina civila a me ka hoʻomana. Eia nō naʻe, pono e inoa, no ka laʻana, ka hale pule mua, i hoʻopōmaikaʻi ʻia i ka makahiki 1555, ʻo ia ka Halemai de los Indios Otomíes, ka haʻiʻōlelo a ka Colegio de Compañía de Jesús, i hoʻokumu ʻia ma kahi o 1589, kahi i waiho ʻia ma kahi o ke Kulanui a me ka hale pule parish primitive. i kapa ʻia ʻo Nā Haukapila, mai ka waenakonu o ke kenekulia 16, i kēia lā ua hoʻololi hapa ʻia a me kahi kahakaha ʻana ma kona alo me ke kiʻi o kā mākou Lede o Guanajuato.
Hāʻawi ke kūlanakauhale i nā wahi me kahi hoʻonohonoho kupaianaha a me nā kuanaʻike nani, me nā pahu e kūkulu i nā hale o ka hoihoi nui loa, e like me Kapalakiko, kahi e hoʻopau ai ke Alanui Sopeña, ma ke alo o ka luakini o Kapalakiko, me kahi alo baroque o ka Kenekulia 18 i hoʻohālikelike me ka hale pule e pili ana o ka Santa Casa. Ma kahi hou aku o ka Union Garden, ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ia kū nei ka luakini kupaianaha o San Diego, he hale ʻolelo kahiko kona ma mua; ua hōʻino ʻia ka luakini e kahi kahawai a kūkulu hou ʻia i ke kenekulia 18 e ka hana a ka Count of Valenciana. Aia kona façade i ka baroque style me kahi churrigueresque air.
Ma hope aku ka Plaza de la Paz, i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā hale hoihoi e like me ka Hale Aliʻi Aupuni, ka hale kupaianaha o nā Helu o Rul, kahi hana mai ka hopena o ke kenekulia 18 i hāʻawi ʻia e ka mea hoʻolālā kiʻi ʻo Francisco Eduardo Tresguerras, kahi helehelena maikaʻi a me kahi pā maikaʻi. loko; ka hale o ka helu o Gálvez a me ka hale o Los Chico. Ma ka hikina hikina o ka pāhaʻi ka basilica hoʻokau o Nuestra Señora de Guanajuato, kūkulu ʻia i ka makahiki ʻumikūmāhiku i loko o kahi ʻano baroque sober, kahi e noho ai ke kiʻi makamae o ka Lede o Santa Fe de Guanajuato i kona kuahu nui. Ma hope o ka Basilica aia kekahi square hou i mua o ka luakini luakini o ka Society of Jesus, i kūkulu ʻia ma 1746 me ke kākoʻo o Don José Joaquín Sardaneta y Legazpi. ʻO ka hale kahi o nā helehelena baroque nani loa ma Mekiko a me ka dome kolosal i hoʻohui ʻia i ke kenekulia i hala e ka mea kākau ʻo Vicente Heredia e kū nei. Ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana o kēia luakini ka pā kula o ke Kulanui, ʻo ia ka Colegio de la Purísima i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka Jesuit ma ka hopena o ka 16 mau kenekulia; ua hoʻololi ʻia ka hale i ke kenekulia 18 a ʻo kekahi mau mea hou aku i ka waena o kēia kenekulia. Ma ka hikina o ka ʻoihana ka Plaza del Baratillo, e kaena ana i kahi punawai nani i lawe ʻia mai mai Florence mai e nā kauoha a ka Emepera Maximiliano, a ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana o ia hale e kū nei ka luakini o San José.
Ke hoʻomau nei ma ke Alanui Juárez, hele ʻoe ma ka Hale ʻAhaʻōlelo, kahi kūkulu kenekulia 19; ʻOi aku ka hale i hoʻohana ʻia no ka Royal House of Trials, kahi hale Baroque poʻokela me ke kapa hanohano mua o ke kūlanakauhale ma kāna ʻaoʻao. Mai laila aku, hele aʻe kahi ala keʻa liʻiliʻi ma waena o ka Plaza de San Fernando a hiki i Plazuela de San Roque, kahi kihi kolone nani e hoʻolālā ana i ka hale pule o ka inoa like a ʻo ia ka hale kahiko i mālama ʻia, i kūkulu ʻia ma 1726. Hāʻawi ka paʻakikī i ke komo ʻana i ka māla Morelos leʻaleʻa, ma mua o ka luakini ʻo Belén, kahi kūkulu 18 kenekulia me kahi puka haʻahaʻa a me nā ʻāpana nani i loko. Mai kekahi ʻaoʻao o ka luakini, kahi ala e piʻi i ka ʻākau e alakaʻi ai i ka hale Alhóndiga de Granaditas; Manaʻo ʻia e mālama i ka palaoa a me ka meaʻai, ua hoʻomaka ka hana ʻana i ka makahiki 1798 ma lalo o kahi papahana e ka mea kākau ʻo Durán y Villaseñor e hoʻopau ʻia ma 1809 ma lalo o ka nānā a José del Mazo. ʻO kāna kiʻi laulā kahi hiʻohiʻona nani o ka neoclassical civila kuhikuhipuʻuone o Mekiko.
ʻO nā wahi maʻamau o ke kūlanakauhale nā pā a me nā alaloa, kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke haʻi aku i ka plazuela de la Valenciana, Los Ángeles, Mexiamora, ka mea kaulana a aloha Callejón del Beso a me Salto del Mono. ʻO nā hale haipule koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe ka Luakini o Guadalupe, kūkulu ʻia i ke kenekulia 18 i kahi kaila Baroque sober, ka Luakini o El Pardo, mai ka kenekulia 18 hoʻi, me kāna ʻāpana piha i nā kumu mea kanu i hana ʻia ma ka quarry.
Ma waho o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike, ma ka ʻākau, ka luakini o ka Valenciana i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no San Cayetano, nona ka nani churrigueresque façade mai ka 18th kenekulia i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā Sagrario a me Santísima ma Mexico City. Kūkulu ʻia ka luakini ma ke noi a Don Antonio de Obregón y Alcocer, ka helu mua o Valencia, ma waena o 1765 a me 1788. Mālama ka pā i kekahi mau ʻāpana lele nani a me kahi mea hoʻoliʻiliʻi maikaʻi i hoʻopili ʻia me ka iwi a me ka lāʻau makamae. Pono ka luakini o Cata e nānā nui ʻia. Ua hānai ʻia i mua o ke kahua i kēia lā i kapa ʻia ʻo Don Quixote, ʻo ia kekahi o nā laʻana maikaʻi loa o ka baroque Mekiko, nona ka ʻenemi kūʻē i ka Valenciana. Aia ia i ke kaona mining o ka inoa like a me kona mau lā kūkulu mai ka makahiki 17th.
