Veracruz is a historic port city located on the Gulf of Mexico coast. Founded in 1519 by Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, it was the first Spanish settlement in Mexico and serves as the principal port of entry during the colonial period. The city, officially known as Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave, has played a crucial role in Mexico's history and cultural development.
Its rich cultural heritage reflects a blend of indigenous, Spanish, and African influences, particularly visible in its music, cuisine, and traditions. The city is known for its traditional son jarocho music and the famous dance "La Bamba." Veracruz's historic center features colonial-era architecture, including the San Juan de Ulúa fortress, which has served various purposes throughout history, from a defense structure to a presidential palace. The city maintains strong maritime traditions and hosts cultural institutions that preserve and showcase its diverse heritage.
