Teatro Ángela Peralta

The downtown area has an old Colonial section. Here you find the splendidly restored Teatro Ángela Peralta, named after a famous Mazatlán-born opera singer, and the cathedral, which has a gothic exterior and a baroque interior. Both buildings date from the late 19^th century. Several of the buildings around Plaza Machado have been restored and converted into artists’ studios, galleries, and restaurants. The renovation of the Teatro Ángela Peralta has done wonders for the historic section, which had become rather ramshackle. The surrounding area is upgrading and becoming constantly more attractive.
