　　Inside the ex-convent and old prison that held the deposed Emperor Maximilian, the 11-room Museo de la Ciudad has some good alternating contemporary art exhibits. At the time of research most of the museum was closed for extensive renovations but one or two rooms still housed art displays.

Must-see attractions
MUCAL
Querétaro
　　While a museum of calendars might not sound riveting, this extraordinary museum is unexpectedly interesting. It takes a wide angle view of calendars and its 19 exhibition rooms start with displays relating to time itself, including a look at how the galaxy – and therefore time – works and how...
Teatro de la República
Querétaro
　　This lovely old functioning theater, complete with impressive chandeliers, was where a tribunal met in 1867 to decide the fate of Emperor Maximilian. Mexico's constitution was also signed here on January 31, 1917. The stage backdrop lists the names of its signatories and the states they represented. In 1929 politicians...
Museo de Arte de Querétaro
Querétaro
　　Querétaro's art museum, adjacent to the Templo de San Agustín, occupies a splendid baroque monastery built between 1731 and 1748. It's worth visiting to see the building alone: angels, gargoyles, statues and other ornamental details abound, particularly around the stunning courtyard. The gallery itself displays everything from dark and broody...
Templo de Santa Rosa de Viterbo
Querétaro

The church also boasts what some say is the earliest four-sided clock in the New World. Opening hours are very...

Museo Regional de Querétaro
Querétaro
　　The ground floor of this museum holds interesting exhibits on pre-Hispanic Mexico, archaeological sites, the Spanish occupation and the state's various indigenous groups. The upstairs exhibits reveal Querétaro's role in the independence movement and post-independence history. The table at which the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848, ending...
Templo y Convento de la Santa Cruz
Querétaro
　　One of the city's most interesting sights, this convent was built between 1654 and about 1815 on the site of a battle in which a miraculous appearance of Santiago (St James) apparently led to the Otomí surrender to the conquistadors and Christianity. Emperor Maximilian had his headquarters here while under...
Casa de la Zacatecana
Querétaro
　　This is a finely restored 17th-century home with an impressive collection of 18th- and 19th-century furniture and decorations, which veer between the chintzy and the austere (check out the wall of gruesome crucifixes). It's a good place to get a sense of life in colonial-era Querétaro. ...
