Patzcuaro, in the indigenous tongue has been assigned various meanings, among them "the place where they dye in black" and "foundation place for temples." History relates that Patzcuaro was the principal religious center in the pre-Hispanic era during the Purepecha Empire, where it is said that the settlers decided the door to the sky so that the gods could ascend and descend. As a city, Patzcuaro is an example of indigenous colonial architecture with straight lines and spacious plazas.
