Querétaro, Patrimonio Cultural de la HumanidadQuerétaro se fundó en 1531 en medio del valle de La Cañada, habitado por algunos gurpos chichimecas. Décadas después, Querétaro se convirtió en una de las ciudades más importantes para la Corona española, principalmente por ser punto de encuentro entra la Ciudad de México y las minas al norte de Camino Real de Tierra Adentro. El 7 de diciembre de 1996, la Organización de la Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (Unesco) ortogó a la Zona de Monumentos Históricos de Querétaro el nombramiento de Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad. La Unesco reconoció su decisión a partir de dos criterios: la traza original del siglo XVI, donde convivieron indígenas y españoles, y la arquitectura barroca de los siglos XVII y XVIII, que aún permanece de pie en el tiempo.203 manzanas inscritas4 kilómetros cuadrados mide la zona1,400 monumentos lo conforman1712, año en el que se le ortogó el rango de ciudad a Querétaro
English:Querétaro, Cultural Heritage of HumanityQuerétaro was founded in 1531 as a town of Indians in the middle of the valley of La Cañada. Decades after the arrival of the Spaniards, Querétaro became one of the most important cities of the Spanish Crown; mainly for its position as a crossroads



between Mexico City and the mines of the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro in the north. On December 7, 1996, UNESCO granted the Historical Monuments Zone of Querétaro the designation of Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This designation was awarded by virtue of the exchange of indigenous, Spanish, and mestizo cultural values before and during the viceregal period, which impacted the development of architecture, monumental arts, urban planning, and landscape design in the area, the results of which can be well appreciated in the mixed layout of streets in the zone, which combines Spanish geometry with pre-Hispanic irregularity, and in the great richness that the civil and religious buildings of the XVII and XVIII centuries demonstrate. 203 blocks are registered within the World Heritage areaThe size of the zone is 4 square kilometersThe number of monuments is 1,4001712 is the year in which Querétaro was granted the rank of city
