The city of San Luis Potosí offers many other places of recreation to the visitor.
In the Temple of San Francisco, in the square of the same name, the Potosino Regional Museum is housed. There are also the Theater of Peace and the National Museum of the Mask, the Church of the Virgen del Carmen, whose architecture is a testimony of the style that is called ultra-baroque, evidenced in its side door with rich and exquisite ornamentation, as well as in the portico of the sacristy and the altarpiece of the Chapel of the Camarín de la Virgen, the latter compared in beauty with the chapels of the Virgen del Rosario and Santa María Tonantzintla de Puebla, the Museum of Crafts and the Alameda Juan Sarabia, with sculptures of Hidalgo, Juan Sarabia and other heroes.
In the surroundings of this magnificent city, you can find some colonial towns with beautiful architectural examples, among which the well-known town of Real de Catorce stands out, an old and abandoned mining center in which there is a beautiful and modest temple from the 18th century dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, inside which a miraculous image of Saint Francis of Assisi is preserved.
