Overview
- INAH-Michoacán reports 54 archaeological sites identified in Morelia, largely uncovered during public works or housing projects.
- The most recent find consists of ceramic fragments over roughly 200 square meters in the malpaís near Villas del Pedregal, within an area slated for Vivienda del Bienestar housing.
- A small yácata located near San Nicolás Obispo during second ring-road works points to a Purépecha-style settlement and is featured in an exhibit at the Centro Cultural Clavijero.
- Under the renewed agreement, authorities will update the National Catalog of Historic Monuments and form a permanent working group spanning urban development, public works, and environmental areas.
- Officials highlighted that the Centro Histórico encompasses more than 1,100 heritage buildings and generates about a quarter of city revenue from tourism, with INAH-backed upkeep such as graffiti removal on Avenida Madero.
