Palenque de Gallos
A circular stone cockfighting arena built in 1863, shaped like a small ancient Roman theatre. It is now used as an event venue.
The cockfighting arena was built in the 19th century. Ring-shaped stone seating rises around a central ground, resembling a small Roman theatre. It was once one of the town's entertainment venues during its heyday. Cockfighting no longer takes place here. It is occasionally used for performances and cultural events, and visitors can usually walk in to look around and take photos. It sits on the northwest slope above the plaza, a few minutes' walk away, and can be combined with the nearby Guadalupe cemetery.
