Tlacuitlapan

Tlacuitlapán was an Indigenous quarter of Zacatecas, the mining settlement that grew among the hills below La Bufa. Tlaxcalan settlers established the neighborhood on the northern frontier, where Spanish mines drew people from many different communities. Franciscan friars built a hospital at Tlacuitlapán, and the quarter formed part of the growing town around the mines. Its history reflects the presence of Indigenous settlers as well as miners and officials in the development of Zacatecas.

The later city of Zacatecas lies here.
