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]

Town icons

Yuriria has many structural, as well as geographical icons, that throughout the years have become major sight locations in the state of Guanajuato. Some of these include:

Ex-Convento

The Parroquia of Yuriria, important cultural icon of the state

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.
