The legacy of Puerto Vallarta’s and Mexico’s art began over 3,000 years ago. Until the time of the Spanish conquest, art, architecture, politics, and religion were inextricably intertwined. With the advent of the colonial period Christian symbolism replaced many of the ancient power signs such as the eagle, the feathered serpent, and the jaguar. Today much of the contemporary art of Puerto Vallarta is centered around religious symbolism and the veneration of the spirit of the Mexican people.
