5. Attractions
Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán
The most important symbol of Centro Histórico de Cuautla is the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, it is located in the main square and, although its facade has been modified, it is still one of the symbols of the city since the 16th century.
The Templo de Santo Domingo (Temple of Saint Domingo), as it is better known by the people of the city, was built along with a convent in which the Dominican friars lived in isolation.
Although it is still in good condition, it has witnessed events as transcendental as the Sitio de Cuautla, since it served as the fort of General Leónardo Bravo during the independence of Mexico. It was also the headquarters of Emiliano Zapata's army at the beginning of the 20th century.
Another church and ex-convent you should know is San Diego, dating from the 17th century. Its tower is one of the symbols that can be seen from various points of the city.
Follow your journey to the Chapel of Gualupita or Guadalupita, which was founded as a refuge to protect the image of el Señor del Pueblo de Xochitengo (The Lord of the People of Xochitengo), highly valued by the inhabitants of Cuautla in the 17th century. In 1812 it was moved to another sanctuary and an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe was installed in its place, hence the name by which it is known today.
Cuautla’s Museums
Cuautla's cultural offer is rich, so we recommend visiting the Museo del Oriente de Morelos (Museum of the Orient of Morelos) also known as Casa de Morelos (House of Morelos). This is a space dedicated exclusively to the life and work of this independence figure, since he lived there for a while.
It is also worth visiting the Casa de la Cultura (House of Culture), which was originally a private academy that became the Instituto Regional de Bellas Artes de Cuautla (Regional Institute of Fine Arts of Cuautla) at the end of the 1950s.
A good way to learn about the history of this city is by observing the murals of the Salón de Cabildos of the Palacio Municipal (Municipal Palace), these tell how the Sitio de Cuautla was and you will find characters such as Morelos, Galeana, Matamoros and the Niño Artillero.
In this building you can also find the Campana de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (“Bell of Our Lady of Sorrows”) that dates back to 1784 and is played during the Grito de Dolores every September 15th.
You can plan your visit to coincide with one of Cuautla's many popular festivals; for example, the Señor del Pueblo de Xochitengo festival which takes place on the second Friday of Lent and includes a very popular fair with typical food and dances. From February 19th to May 2nd the Sitio de Cuautla is commemorated with a cycle of cultural and artistic activities.
Cuautla’s Spas
Cuautla's climatic conditions have made it a city to rest and take advantage of its warm temperatures, and it also has many spas to cool down and spend a very pleasant day with the family.
Agua Hedionda is a spa known for the natural properties of its thermal waters, thanks to its proximity to the mineral deposits that were explored for centuries in the region.
In El Almeal you can bathe in its two warm fresh water springs. Other options are Los Limones, Agua Linda and Las Tazas, in all of which you will find splashing pools so that children can have fun safely, as well as slides and areas for practicing other sports.
The spas are open to the public all year round thanks to Morelos' excellent climate, although it is common for them to receive more visitors on weekends, during holiday breaks or in summer.
The more adventurous will get to know Cuautla very well as a destination to practice skydiving once in a lifetime or in a professional manner. Different companies and academies offer this service which is carried out with all the security measures.

6. History
Prehispanic History
The Olmec group who lived in Chalcatzingo (southeast of Cuautla) founded settlements in Cuautla, Tepalcingo, Jonacatepec (Las Pilas), Olintepec, Atlihuayan, Huaxtepec, Gualupita de Cuernavaca, Tlayacapan, etc. (Piña Chan y Plancarte).
Five years after the conquest of Cuahunahuác (Cuernavaca) in (1379 CE), Moctezuma Ilhuicamina conquered Huaxtepec (Oaxtepec), Yautepec, Tlayacapan and other towns of Morelos and Guerrero. With Huaxtepec, which was the prehispanic and colonial capital of the peoples of the Plan de Amilpas, its 25-human settlements including Cuauhtlán, had to pay a tribute of 400 cotton blankets, 400 two-color valances, 400 bedspreads, 800 thin cotton blankets, 400 pairs of shorts (patees), 200 women's shirts, and 1,200 veils (mantillas) every 80 days. In addition, they were required to contribute labor.
Spanish conquest and colonial period
The Plan de Amilpas including Cuautla was conquered by Captain Gonzalo de Sandoval on March 14, 1521. In 1543 New Spain was organized into four provinces: Michoacán, México, Coatzacoalcos, and Las Mixtecas; the present territory of Morelos was part of the Mexico province.
The church and monastery of San Diego were built between 1560 and 1580. The church is relatively small and austere, although there is a beautiful cupola on the south side. The façade of the church is made of pink granite with well-defined bases, columns, and cornices. The small, two-level belltower is square and simple. The monetary is high and formal; it may have been built after the church. The church is unique in that it faces the east, there is no real atrium, and there are neither capillas posas nor an open chapel. Construction of the church of Santo Domingo also began in the middle of the 16th century, but there is little information on it.
After the conquest, Indigenous lands were confiscated, mostly for sugar cane plantations and mills (trapiches). Despite Indigenous protests, Viceroy Gaspar de Zúñiga ruled in favor of the colonists on July 5, 1603. In 1646 the province of México became the Real Audiencia; Cuautla became an alcaldia (mayoralty) belonging to the Intendencia of Puebla.
Independence & 19th Century
After a number of successful battles, General José María Morelos arrived in Cuautla in December 1811. On February 19, 1812, Spanish General Félix María Calleja began the 72-day Siege of Cuautla. Morelos was accompanied by Leonardo Bravo, Mariano Matamoros, Hermenegildo Galeana, Nicolás Bravo, and Manuel de Ordiera. 12-year-old Narciso Mendoza, known as the Niño Artillero (Child Gunner) is remembered for stopping an advance of royalist troops by setting off a cannon. Morelos and his army were able to break out on May 2, 1812.
Cuautla was designated a Heroic City (Heroica Ciudad de Morelos) on April 4, 1829, while Felipe B. Montero was Presidente Municipal (mayor).
An 1865 photograph shows the construction of the second floor of the Palacio Municipal (city hall) in 1865. The building was burned during the Revolution.
The railroad station was opened on June 18, 1881, next to the Convento de San Diego. Tourist trains continue to operate along the line.
Revolution & 20th Century
As a young man, Emiliano Zapata was concerned about land seizures in Anenecuilco, his hometown. In May 1911 he answered Francisco I. Madero's call to arms against President Porfirio Díaz. After minor battles in Chietla, Izúcar, Metepec Atlixco, Yautepec, and Jonacatepec, he arrived at Cuautla on May 11, 1911. With 4,000 or 5,000 troops he surrounded the city, and the week-long Battle of Cuautla (1911) began. The battle was a major turning point in the Mexican Revolution, as Porfirio Díaz said the battle convinced him to sign the Treaty of Ciudad Juárez and resign.
Nearly seven years later, in April 1919, Colonel Jesus Guajardo assassinated Zapata, apparently under orders of President Venustiano Carranza in Hacienda Chinameca, Ayala. His body was placed on a mule and left on the street before he was brought to Cuautla for burial.
The city hall was burned during the Battle of Cuautla in 1911; the bell Nuestra Señora de Dolores was transferred from the Church of Guadalupita on February 19, 2917 when the city hall was restored.
21st Century
Six people, including an 11-year-old child, were killed in the September 17, 2017 Puebla earthquake.
Jesus Corona Damian of Juntos Haremos Historia (Together we will make history coalition) was elected Presidente Municipal (mayor) in the election of July 1, 2018.
