La Plazuela del Baratillo, a common name that was given to the place where there was a market that disappeared in 1893. Here you will find a plaque that describes the history of the fountain that has more than 150 years in the city. “The fountain that adorns this square was inaugurated in the Plaza Mayor on June 2, 1852, and through it the piped water came from the Presa de la Olla to serve the population for the first time. On January 21, 1886, she was removed from the Plaza Mayor and moved to the Plaza de San Diego, from where on October 4, 1893 she was transferred to this place ”. The fountain made of bronze and cast in Florence, Italy, was a gift from Maximilian of Habsburg. The twin fountain is located in the city of Irapuato in the Plaza Madero. The Callejón de la Cabecita, Calle de la Alameda, and the street and temple of San José lead to the Plazuela del Baratillo; It is located between El truco and Cantarranas streets. The place was the headquarters of the International Horror Film Festival ‘Aurora’ and various artistic and cultural activities are currently held throughout the year.

Decorated with Florentine finials, without a doubt one of the most beautiful squares in the city of Guanajuato, a World Heritage Site.
