They used to bring people down into the catacombs with just a candle. The bodies lying in the open on the table. Good for nightmares.

The Kissing Alley. The story goes that a pair of lovers were forbidden to see each other. The man rented the apartment with a balcony seen here, directly across from his lovers balcony. Of course they met with a tragic end.

This is El Pipila, hero of the city during the war of Independence. He looks much better from far away. Apparentlyhe tied a flat rock to his back so bullets would bounce off of him and crawled to the gates of the fort to burn down the doors. No one knows if he survived.
