Historical and cultural centre
Just two hours drive from Mexico City, this small well-preserved capital of the state of Tlaxcala has played an important part in the history of Mexico. The centre is full of architectural gems, though both the main church and the Basilica of Our Lady of Ocotlán suffered extensive damage in the September 2017 earthquake. There are stunning murals inside the Government Palace depicting the history of this area in great detail.
