- 1 Plaza Principal, Plaza Julian Carrillo. The beautifully manicured gardens contain a large number of cacti and similar plants that thrive in dry, desert-like conditions. Walkways and open spaces make it a pleasant place to relax and people watch, particularly on Sunday afternoons when families go out together.
- 2 Parroquia Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria, Plaza Julian Carrillo 3. Traditional colonial style church with a bright, open feeling inside with graceful arches and light pastel blue domes over the nave.
- Hacienda La Parada, Ahualulco. About 15 km south of town is a former agricultural hacienda that is partially preserved (but partially in ruins). An on-site museum in the former chapel displays relics of the hacienda's past with exhibits that explain details about the region's history prior to the Mexican War of Independence in the early 19th century.
