It is located in front of the Temple of San Francisco; it takes its name from the monument set up there in 1893 to honor the memory of the Martyrs of Uruapan, five republicans, among them the Generals Carlos Salazar and Jose Ma. Arteaga, sacrificed by the imperialists on October 21, 1865.

Built in 1533, has an ancient frontispiece, from the XVI century, and is built out of hewn stone, plateresque style. It is located in the downtown area of Uruapan. In the interior, the church has a Christ from the XVIII century; the images that appear in the curvilinear triangles that form the dome are painted in vinilic painting, and represent "a very short history of our salvation and at the same time a representation of the holy mass" these works were painted by Mohamad Sccidel

Exactly halfway between Pátzcuaro and Uruapan is Tingambato. Its old name was “Tinganio” meaning “place where the climate changes”, and here is where begins the “warm earth”. Approximately 25 km. from Pátzcuaro you will see a sign to the archaeological zone. You will have to enter town, park near a school and then continue on foot about 500 meters through avocado orchards until you arrive at the pyramids.

These ruins have an impressive resemblance in structure and placement (if not size) to the Teotihuacan pyramids in the state of México. However, it is still not known to which culture these belong, because there don’t exist any inscriptions or vestiges of who inhabited the place. There is also a ball court and a ceremonial tomb whose interior was sealed with a mixture of mud and cow’s blood. It is a very small place, but it deserves to be visited.

It is the world's youngest active vulcano. It suddendly appears from the earth destroying a small town named San Juan Parangaricutiro of which survived only the tower and part of the building. The town moved to a different place and the name is now San Juan Nuevo.

To this place it is possible to arrive by horse from another town named Angahuan or by car.
