Cradled by the Tepozteco Mountains, Cuernavaca is called &ldquo;City of the Eternal Spring.&rdquo; Here we&rsquo;ll visit the Cathedral of Cuernavaca, said to be one of the oldest churches in the Americas. This formidable 16th-century church was a center for Franciscan missionaries and was gilded by indigenous artists in the baroque style. We&rsquo;ll pass by frescoes &ndash; allegedly painted in the 17th century &ndash; that depict stories of the missionaries in Asia.

&ldquo;Another beautiful trip to the town of Cuernavaca. Visited different holy sites with beautiful churches! I recommend stopping for a visit before heading to Taxco.&rdquo; &ndash; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g150797-d153768-r825213077-Cathedral_of_the_Asencion_Catedral_de_la_Asuncion-Cuernavaca_Central_Mexico_and_G.html" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">Ann, USA</a>

We then move on to Taxco, a town in the state of Guerrero, southwest of Mexico City. This centuries-old colonial site nestled on a hillside is famed for its silver jewelry production and beautiful architecture. Absorb the atmosphere here, framed by winding cobblestone streets, tile-roof buildings, cozy squares and a strong Old World feel that somehow managed to survive through the passage of time.

Plaza Borda, the main square, is home to the landmark 18th-century Santa Prisca Church. One of Mexico&rsquo;s grandest churches, it features stone towers and a rose-colored facade commissioned in 1759 by Jos&eacute; de la Borda. The French-Spaniard struck silver in the 1700s and became Mexico&rsquo;s richest man.

&ldquo;Santa Prisca is a historical monument in the town of Taxco. This beautiful church is amazing both inside and out with some stunning views from the bell tower&hellip; If you&rsquo;re in Taxco, it&#39;s definitely worth a visit.&rdquo; &ndash; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g150803-d152692-r804725974-Santa_Prisca_de_Taxco-Taxco_Pacific_Coast.html" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">Hillary, USA</a>
