The architectonic value of this zone is incalculable.
Little by little, this value is being lost to modernity, but in general most of the buildings and spaces that represent various popular architecture styles such as baroque, neoclassical, and neocolonial have been preserved.
A walk through these streets guarantees a flashback to centuries ago.

The main features of this zone are its monuments, plazas, narrow stone-paved streets, single or two floored houses made of brick or painted with vivid colors, balconies facing the avenues with vines and decorated front doors.

In this neighborhood, you can find various casonas; big, old, majestic houses that usually once belonged to someone important and now presume various architectural styles.

Casa del Mayorazgo Fagoaga  
This casona from the 17th century was named after a knight of the Santiago order, Don Francisco de Fagoga who was the owner of the house.

He was a rich silver and gold merchant from the New Spain colonial era, who separated the gold in Mexico City's coin house in 1735.

The house was made with balconies in a beautiful Baroque style and it is made as a typical European house from the 19th century with a Neoclassic style.

There's a legend that talks about one day when the Padiema Battle was happening, the General Santa Anna was bowling in this property instead of fighting for the country.

Centro Cultural San Ángel
The original structure of this cultural center was part of the Colegio Del Carmen.
Halfway through the 19th century, the Colegio Del Carmen was demolished almost in its totality to edify San Ángel's Municipal Palace, finished in 1887.
A century later, June 23, 1987, the edification was finally destined to be the Centro Cultural San Ángel, having its opening ceremony January 29, 1988.
It now holds various temporal expositions and houses the Teatro López Tarso.

Casa de los Dos Patios
This casona was built at the end of the 19th century by philanthropist Francisco de Urquiaga.
It features a neoclassical style, popular during the Porfiriato.
Its name refers to the two patios the house possesses, the main one with a garden and rooms surrounding it and a secondary one used to keep carriages and horses.
Legend tells that it served as a lair for the popular bandit Chucho el Roto, reason why the house is also referred to by his name.
The house was restored and now houses the Biblioteca de las Revoluciones de México.

Casa Blanca
This casona belonged to the Oploca counts and resembles the countryside houses from the 17th century.
 Its facade portrays a now blurry coat of arms.
It had the second biggest orchard of San Ángel, after the one in the Convento Del Carmen.
It housed invasive troops during the Mexican–American War in 1847.
It also housed foreign troops during the French intervention in Mexico.
Halfway through the 19th century, it was inhabited by judge José del Villar Bocanegra, who rearranged it to serve as barracks for a detachment of emperor Maximilian I of Mexico.
Later on, it belonged to a nun congregation.
The residence was then bought and sold a number of times before being acquired by Mr. William Lucien Morkil in 1902.

Casa del Risco
This construction of the 17th century was the residence of various characters of Mexican history.
During the regime of General Antonio López de Santa Anna the house was used as barracks during the Mexican–American War.
Later on it became a hospital that served the Saint Patrick's Battalion, composed mainly by Irish soldiers who defended the Mexican people from invasive troops.
In 1933, the Casa del Risco was acquired by Isidro Fabela who donated it to the Mexican people along with his art collection in 1963.
The collection consists of more than 1,500,000 documents and around 1,500 photographs, most of them related to the Mexican Revolution.
Thanks to that, it now hosts the Centro Cultural Isidro Fabela.
Apart from the Historical Archive and some galleries, it has an auditorium where cultural and academic activities are held.
The mayor attraction of the museum is a Baroque fountain made of tile, porcelain, seashells and
