about Puebla

The city of Puebla – known more formally as "Heróica Puebla de Zaragoza" or less formally as "La Angelópolis" – is the capital and largest city of the Mexican state of the same name.

Puebla is located just over 110 km south-east of Mexico City at 19.05°N 98.22°W and, in 2003, had an estimated population of 1,345,500 people.

The historic center of the city still contains much Spanish Colonial architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some of the historical buildings have been impressively restored; others, however, are in an abject state of disrepair.

Of all the colonial buildings, the most impressive are without any doubt the Cathedral, in a somewhat mixed neoclassical style, as well as the Rosario Chapel, a dramatic example of mexian baroque.

General Ignacio Zaragoza's army defeated French expeditionary forces near Puebla on May 5, 1862, in the Battle of Puebla.

In 2003-04, Puebla is serving as the interim headquarters of the Free Trade Area of the Americas. It has also submitted its candidacy to serve as the permanent headquarters once the FTAA is up and running.

Puebla is considered the home of mole, a rich, spicy sauce containing chocolate, cinnamon and nuts.

In Puebla was created the folkloric mexican women dress named: China Poblana
