What Cinco de Mayo Means and How It's Celebrated in Mexico
"Perched on a hilltop that was originally a Catholic temple, this former fortress preserves visible battlefield remnants such as cannons and houses the Museum of Non-Intervention, which offers a comprehensive narrative of the 1862 conflict. The museum displays original 19th-century artifacts—weapons, flags, official documents, paintings, and military uniforms—and features particularly notable letters written by President Benito Juárez to General Ignacio Zaragoza that illuminate the events before and after the battle." - Travel + Leisure Editors
