One part that distinguishes Patzcuaro is its main square, the Plaza Vasco de Quiroga, also known by local people as the Plaza Grande. One of the largest squares in Mexico and recognized as one of the most beautiful in America with huge trees, it is surrounded by colonial houses with tile roofs where we can clearly observe a harmony among all the houses painted with the same color scheme, and following various guidelines that create a sense of homogeneity.

One such building is our Hotel Mansión Iturbe, located right in front of the famous statue of Don Vasco de Quiroga.  During the Christmas season, the entire plaza is the scene of the Nativity and everything, all made by local artisans, that represent this momentous event.
