25 centuries of cultural heritage
What was the evolution of pre-Hispanic ethnic groups for more than 2,000 years? In addition to the 90 pre-Hispanic archaeological sites that exist in SMA, how many more did it have? Why, under the rule of the Spanish viceroyalty, was San Miguel founded on the slope of a volcano? Is this Historic Center the most preserved on the continent? Was there segregation during the Spanish viceroyalty? What were the principles of urban and architectural design at SMA? Why is SMA a cosmopolitan community?
