Santuario de San Miguel del Milagro

Founded in the 17th century following the apparitions of Saint Michael the Archangel, this sanctuary is one of the oldest and most imposing pilgrimage centers in Mexico. Featuring a beautiful Baroque facade and an atmosphere filled with devotion, the site is world-famous for its "pocito" (sacred water well), to which thousands of visitors attribute healing properties. A destination that perfectly combines spiritual depth with Tlaxcala's rich historical beauty.
