Hacienda Santa Clara was named after Saint Clare of Assisi - the close spiritual companion of Saint Francis. Together, they founded the Franciscan movement. After the founders visited Assisi, Italy, they were moved by the story.

Yesterday was the feast day of St. Francis of Assissi, the patron saint of animals and the environment.

Throughout the grounds at Hacienda Santa Clara, depictions of St. Clare and St. Francis can be found throughout in paintings, carvings, and statues.

Every October since 1925, San Miguel de Allende has celebrated their patron saint, San Miguel Arcángel. 

La Alborada is a weeks-long celebration beginning September 25th. Neighborhood processions through the city’s cobblestone streets - paper stars lit from within carried alongside mojigangas, and bands filling the centro with music. 

At 4am on October 3rd the main events begin - the Parroquia bells ring and fireworks fill the sky above the jardín for over an hour, representing the Archangel’s victory, concluding with the crowd singing Las Mañanitas. 

The festivities continue through October 11th, including traditional dances and processions through the city. 

San Miguel de Allende celebrates unlike anywhere else in the world and Hacienda Santa Clara is honored to call it home.

Inside the Hacienda Santa Clara chapel, a set of painted wooden doors separate the baptismal font from the main ceremony space. 

The angels and religious figures painted across the panels are details that most guests don’t discover until they’re walking back out. The chapel has so much care and attention to detail throughout it that you come to notice the longer you’re inside. 

The moment these doors open and the procession begins is a moment you’ll never forget.

¡Feliz Día de la Independencia! 🇲🇽 

On 16 September 1810, Father Miguel Hidalgo issued his call to arms in the nearby town of Dolores, and Mexico’s fight for independence began after more than 300 years of Spanish colonial rule. 

Ignacio Allende, born in what is now San Miguel de Allende, was one of the independence movement’s key leaders. In 1826, the city was renamed from San Miguel el Grande to San Miguel de Allende in his honor. 

Today, the Parroquia is draped in green, white, and red.

September 15th at 11pm, the Jardin in front of the Parroquia fills. 

The mayor steps onto the balcony of the house where independence hero, Ignacio Allende, was born and delivers El Grito de Independencia.

The crowd responds with ¡Viva! and the church bells ring and fireworks light up the sky. 

Hacienda Santa Clara is proud to call San Miguel de Allende home, and to share its culture with every group who passes through.
