Hermosillo

Built around the Spanish Presidio del Pitic, Hermosillo grew into the capital and largest city of Sonora. Set in the Sonoran Desert near the often seasonal Sonora River, it is a hot, expansive inland metropolis in northwestern Mexico. Cerro de la Campana, a hill close to the centre, is one of the city’s enduring reference points. In the historic core, the Metropolitan Cathedral and Plaza Zaragoza anchor civic life, while Hermosillo’s economy reflects Sonora’s importance in agriculture, industry and trade. The city also links the desert interior with routes towards the Gulf of California. Continue through other places in the area to see how this part of Sonora connects with northwestern Mexico.
