Val'Quirico Tlaxcala Medieval Town | What To Do

Val'Quirico Tlaxcala Pueblo Medieval

Val'Quirico is both a real estate development and a tourist complex built on the remains of the Santa Agueda hacienda in the Mexican state of Tlaxcala. 

It looks like a city of medieval architecture influenced by Tuscany and Umbria, in Italy, and Segovia, in Spain, as Adolfo Blanca, director of this development that has been open to the public since 2015, explains.

Its alleys are paved with cobblestones and the houses were built with wood and stones, a combination that blends in with the forest environment.
