San Cristobal de las Casas
San Cristóbal de las Casas, with its colonial style, was founded in the mid-16th century by Diego de Mazariegos in the valley of Hueyzacatlán, in what is now the state of Chiapas, Mexico. Its construction made use of adobe and stone, and for four centuries its streets have been walked by local indigenous people, the mestizo population, and foreigners from all parts of the world.
The Zapatista uprising of December 1994 marked a historic turning point for this place in the heart of the mountains. The town became a symbol of resistance and of “another possible world,” welcoming an ever-growing foreign population drawn to its bohemian and revolutionary atmosphere.
Over nearly five centuries, the walls of the city have witnessed everything: colonizers, indigenous peoples, a revolution, and finally mass tourism and gentrification
