About Yuriria
Yuriria is a town in southern Guanajuato on the shore of the lake that shares its name. Its landmark is a massive 16th-century Augustinian monastery that looks more like a castle than a church, with thick walls and battlements built to shelter the townspeople during raids. Visitors come to walk through the monastery and its cloister, stroll the quiet center, and look out over the lake.
