Its rich history, tradition and culture has converted this amazing destination into the third Magical Town in Baja California Sur. (Todos Santos was the first and Loreto the second.)
Santa Rosalia is a small town located along the Sea of Cortes, to the north of the state which has a lot of French history. Its history goes back to 1705 when a mission was built by Jesuit Juan Maria Basaldua. In 1828 after a series of inundations, the town is abandoned. In 1885, President Porfirio Díaz' mission was to modernize Mexico, (he's credited for bringing trains to Mexico among many other things.)... This is when he negotiates with the French company "El Boleo" to exploit its copper mines in exchange for rebuilding the town, providing utilities and creating a road from Guaymas in order for the town to revive and offer employment. This is why you find French architecture here... For this reason, this town is also known as the French Southern Baja.
One of the main attractions is undoubtedly the metal church. Originally built entirely of stamped steel sheet squares, it is supported by a formidable steel structure in a sober and austere style. It has been brutally modified in favor of functionality (its former lateral corridors were turned into habitable space using crude masonry), and stripped of several of its original stained glasses. Despite these modifications, it still preserves some of the original 1800s spirit.
Tradition, the design of this church is credited to architect Gustave Eiffel.
BAJA AWAITS YOU! Don't miss this amazing town on your next trip to Baja.
