1. San Miguelito Square Marker
El Templo de San Miguelito se fundó en 1597, después de que el alcalde mayor de San Luis les otorgara a los ind tlaxcaltecas tierras para que se asentaran.
Originalmente este barrio se llamaba “De la Santísima Trinidad”, pero alrededor de 1830 se le empezó a conocer como Barrio de San Miguelito, debido al cariño que los habitantes le tenían a su patrono San Miguel.
La Plaza de San Miguelito se hizo peatonal en la década de los setenta para unir el atrio con el jardín, siendo este el corazón del barrio más tradicional de la ciudad de San Luis Potosí.
