I thought it was very interesting that people involved in the inquisition first wore these white cloaks later associated with the KKK. Especially considering the KKK is anti-Catholicism




This is the location of one of the first battles for Mexican independence. Hidalgo led a group of Indigenous and Mestizo peasants to battle against the Spaniards who had turned a large stone granary into a military stronghold. The small holes in the walls of the building are from rocks thrown my the Indigenous army. The legend goes that they could not enter the fortress until el Pípila, a war hero, threw a huge bolder at the wooden doors to break them down. The army then charged the building killing all of the Spaniards inside. The fortress has since been turned into a Mexican history museum.
