Facts and practical information

The San Roque Plaza is a small open area in front of the San Roque Temple in the historic center of Guanajuato, Mexico. The temple building dates from 1726 but the plaza itself is notable as the site of the Entremeses Cervantinos, the predecessor of the current Festival Internacional Cervantino. The plaza was chosen by director Enrique Ruelas to host an outdoor play in 1952, which as successful enough to become an annual tradition before it was replaced by the much larger festival in 1972.
