El Chapitel

Independence-history site tied to Huichapan's local Grito ceremony

El Chapitel is a small but meaningful independence-history stop in the centre of Huichapan. Local tradition connects the balcony here with an early public commemoration of the Grito de Dolores, the cry that began Mexico's war for independence.

There is a small museum on site. It will not take long, but it gives Huichapan a useful historical thread beyond churches and pretty streets.
