Centro histórico de Lagos de Moreno y puente
Elemento de
The historic center of Lagos de Moreno is located northeast of Guadalajara, the capital of the state of Jalisco. During the second half of the 16th century, this area was turned into a war zone by the Chichimeca people. In response, as part of strategies for pacification and protection of the Spanish settlers, Viceroy Luis Velasco ordered the construction of forts, garrisons, or bulwarks at strategic points along the Camino Real de Minas. These fortifications housed contingents of soldiers who would patrol the road and accompany travelers to defend them from Chichimeca attacks.
