Catedral de Parral
Parral Cathedral, Templo Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
The original church was built in 1680, and although the cathedral looks like it might date from that period, it is actually a modern reconstruction built in the 1940s when the old church was damaged in a 1944 flood. The church features enormous twin bell towers that dwarf the main nave. The church features several stunning stained glass windows and a number of iconic statues and paintings, some rescued from the original church, others from the modern era. The church is a center of activity in early December when the festival of the Virgin of Guadalupe takes place.

Casa Griensen - Regional History Museum
Beautifully restored Porfiriato era townhome with an open courtyard and ornate architectural detail. Today, the home's rooms have been turned into galleries that tell tales of local history, with an emphasis on the Mexican Revolution. The most interesting tale is that of Elisa Griensen: during the Revolution, Pancho Villa's Army of the North was a militia of ranchers and horsemen who relentlessly attacked federal strongholds in Northern Mexico. Villa's cavalry would often hit a federal outpost and then ride over the border into the U.S., knowing the federales would respect the border and give up the chase. This tactic incensed the U.S. government and U.S. army cavalry units were stationed at Fort Bliss and other outposts to stop Villa. On one occasion, they chased Villa's men all the way to southern Chihuahua but were stopped in Parral when schoolteacher Elise Griensen led her pupils in a blockade to stop the U.S. Cavalry. A small tactical retreat for the cavalry, but it gave Villa time to escape and it catapulted Griensen to local fame where she became an icon of Mexican patriotism.
