In remembrance of la batalla de Puebla on the 5th of May, 1862, here is a photo of the forts where the battle was fought (and my husband), and a sketch of the Iglesia de la Compañia and the Cathedral of Puebla. Puebla is an old city with architecture dating back to the 1500’s. All of the colonial architecture of the city features cantera, a very durable, dark volcanic stone unique to this region. At first glance, it looks like concrete because of the gray color and rough texture.
