Virtually all guided walking tours of Acapulco include a stroll through the Zócalo (more properly called Plaza Juan Álvarez). Like central plazas throughout Mexico, Acapulco's Zócalo is presided over by a Catholic church, in this case Our Lady of Solitude Cathedral (Nuestra Señora de la Soledad). Its unusually domed interior with gold tiles and mosaics, bookended by two of the least traditional bell towers you'll find in Mexico, was originally part of a movie set, later redeveloped into a parish church and declared a cathedral (temporarily) in 1959. It is the perfect centerpiece to Acapulco's resort-chic collection of Mediterranean, modernist, and other original buildings.
