About Santa Rosalia

Santa Rosalía has French influence, particularly in its architecture. The French company El Boleo founded the town in 1884 and exploited copper mines there until they closed in 1954. They built houses and installed the metallic Iglesia de Santa Bárbara, which was designed by Gustave Eiffel. The town is the northernmost (and thus closest to the US border) year-round warm locale on the main peninsular highway.
