Durango, formally Victoria de Durango, is the capital and largest city of the Mexican state of Durango. Located in the Guadiana Valley of central Mexico, the city has deep historical roots dating back to its founding in 1563 by Spanish conquistador Francisco de Ibarra.
The city's historic center features well-preserved colonial architecture, including the Baroque-style Cathedral Basilica Minor, which dominates the main plaza. Durango has gained recognition for its role in Mexico's film industry, with numerous Western movies filmed in the surrounding landscapes, earning it the nickname "Land of Cinema."
The city maintains a rich cultural heritage through its museums, including the Regional Museum of Durango and the Francisco Villa Museum, which showcase the region's history from pre-Hispanic times through the Mexican Revolution. Traditional arts and crafts, particularly ironwork and leather goods, remain important aspects of the local culture.
