Those who wish to delve into the history of Acapulco can schedule a visit to Fort San Diego , one of the city's relevant historical monuments and one of the most important maritime fortresses in the entire Pacific Ocean.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Solitude is located a few steps from the fort and combines different architectural styles, which were amalgamated during the long construction process. At first glance it resembles a Russian Orthodox church more than the Mexican temples. A careful look will reveal the subtle neocolonial and Byzantine details, especially in the dome and towers.
The regional touch is provided by the mosaics that adorn the interior. While on the Pinzona hill is the mural that Diego Rivera took 18 months to capture on one of the walls of Dolores Olmedo's house. The work, which shows the strength of Quetzalcóatl, the Aztec god represented as a feathered serpent, was made with mosaics and snails.
