Description: Beautifully edited catalog with full-page color photographs of 15 colonial haciendas located in the state of Queretaro in Mexico. Each chapter includes a QR that reader can scan and get the address, telephone and directions on their smartphone. The present volume shows a historical and artistic aspect of the architecture of a category of monuments that emerged in the rural field of Mexico, many of them respond to a phenomenon of social bonanza and tranquility that extended almost from the time of the discovery of this continent until the Revolution in 1910, with the subsequent agrarian distribution. Queretaro was the national center of confluence of the main communication routes to the four cardinal points of New Spain and, at the same time, gateway to the Sierra Gorda and the Gulf of Mexico, also being on the flank of the "Route of the Gold and the Silver" through the Camino Real (royal roads) of Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi, Guanajuato, Real de Pozos, etc. (HKB Translation) --Page 13.
