TLAXCALA

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 1034 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
TLAXCALA , a town of
Mexico
 ,
capital
  of a state of the same name, on the Atoyac river, 58 m. E. of
Mexico
  city by rail. Pop. (1900), 2715. It is of historic
interest
  in connexion with the conquest of Mexico by
Cortes
 . The state-
house
  is its only fine edifice of a political character, and the old
bishop
 's palace its finest building of a religious character. Of most historic
interest
 , perhaps, is the church of San Francisco, the first erected on the American continent, which still contains the vestments, pulpit, font and
cedar
  ceiling brought from Spain in 1521. The handsome sanctuary over the holy well of Ocotlan, on a hill outside the town, is one of the landmarks of the surrounding country.
