Puebla Street Map Poster

Founded by the Spanish on a clean colonial grid in 1531, Puebla has one of Mexico’s most intact historic centres — a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose blocks of azulejo-tiled façades radiate from the central Zócalo. The towering Puebla Cathedral dominates the square, and a short walk away the antique-lined streets of Los Sapos and the candy-shop alley of Calle de los Dulces give the old town its colour.

On a minimalist street map the city’s grid is unusually crisp, framed to the west by the great volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl and edged by neighbouring Cholula with its pyramid-topped church. This printable poster turns that orderly baroque layout into graphic wall art, where every avenue and plaza of the heritage core stands out in clean line.

Birthplace of mole poblano and a city of churches and craft, Puebla makes a poster as much about taste and history as geography. Display it with other Mexico city maps or next to our Mexico City map poster for two faces of central Mexico. This Puebla city map is a quiet tribute to one of the country’s loveliest colonial grids.
