- Museo De Momias Viajeras - The Mummies of Guanajuato are a collection of naturally mummified bodies discovered at the Santa Paula cemetery beginning in the mid-19th century. The mummification happened naturally due to the climate and soil conditions in Guanajuato. This occurrence, initially driven by the exhumation of bodies whose families could not afford perpetual fees, has become a captivating subject for anthropologists and historians. Today, these mummies offer visitors insights into the funerary customs, death beliefs, and social history of the region. It is important to note that the Traveling Mummies, located in the Cerro del Cubilete, are distinct from those displayed in the Mummy Museum of Guanajuato.
- Santuario de Cristo Rey - The Monument to Christ the King, situated atop the Cerro del Cubilete, stands as one of the most iconic symbols of the Catholic faith in Mexico. Its construction commenced in the 1940s to honor the religious devotion of the Mexican people, especially in the post-revolutionary period and following the Cristero War, which championed freedom of worship. The statue, standing 20 meters tall, was built at the geographical center of the country and portrays Christ King of Peace with outstretched arms as a symbol of protection. This site has become a pilgrimage destination and bears witness to the religious history of the nation.
