Yuriria, Guanajuato, Mexico,(Spanish: [ɟʝuˈɾiɾja] ^ⓘ), is one of 46 municipalities in the Mexican state of Guanajuato.

History

The name Yuriria is a shortened version of "Yuririapúndaro" (you-ri-ri-ah-PUHN-da-Ro), which means Place of the Bloody Lake in the Purépecha language.^[1]

In 1548, Friar Diego de Chávez, of the Augustinian Order, supervised construction of a canal from the Lerma River to the east to enlarge Lake Yuriria with water from the river. Friar Diego de Chávez also founded the Augustinan Monastery, work on which began in 1566 under the supervision of architect Pedro del Toro. The monastery was fortified to deter Chichimec raids.^[1]

Population

The population of Yuriria and its surrounding areas totals 68,741 people. Of these, only 25,845 live in urban Yuriria, while 42,846 live in the rural areas surrounding the main town. The largest rural settlements in Yuriria are Cerano (pop. 5,435), El Monte de los Juarez, its main agricultural source with a population of approximately 594, El Xoconoxtle (pop. 731), La Calera (pop. 1,767) and Casacuarán (pop. 2,184). Santa Monica Ozumbilla is one of the oldest communities in Yuriria dating as far back as the early 16th century.

Landmarks

Landmarks in the municipality include:

Ex-Convento San Agustín

The Ex-Covento, or cathedral is probably the most important architectural structure in Yuriria, as well as an important icon in the state in general. Since its construction in November 1550, and its culmination on 1559, its massive size and dazzling structure captured the attention of generations, and ultimately put Yuriria on the map. Its construction was started by Fray Diego de Chavez, nephew of the conquistador Don Pedro Alvarado and was designed by the famous architect Pedro del Toro.
