Guadalajara Cathedral anchors the walk, and its story is one of rebuilding. Construction began in 1558 and finished in 1618, but the original towers and dome collapsed in the earthquake of 31 May 1818, and their replacements fell again in 1849. The tall Neo-Gothic spires you see today date from the 1850s and are clad in yellow and blue tile.
The Templo Expiatorio shows the opposite end of the timeline: a Neo-Gothic church begun on 15 August 1897 that took roughly 75 years to finish, in 1972, with Italian mosaics, French stained glass and German bells made to order in three countries. The contrast with the colonial cathedral is a good way to read how Guadalajara's skyline was layered over centuries.
Mercado Libertad, better known as San Juan de Dios, was designed by architect Alejandro Zohn and opened on 30 December 1958. It is generally described as the largest indoor market in Latin America, at about 40,000 square metres, and a walk through its aisles is a lesson in how the city actually shops and eats today.
