Page "Puebla, Puebla" Paragraph 4
from
Wikipedia
The foundation of Puebla begins with a letter from the bishop of Tlaxcala in 1530, Julián Garcés, to the Spanish queen outlining the need for a Spanish settlement between Mexico City and the port of Veracruz.
In this dream, he saw a valley with woods and meadows crossed by a clear river and dotted with fresh-water springs on fertile land.
While he was contemplating this scenery, he supposedly saw a group of angels descend from heaven and trace out the city.
Convinced he had seen a divine vision, he celebrated Mass, and took some of the brothers out in search of the place.
This legend is the source of Puebla ’ s original name, Puebla de los Angeles, and its current nickname Angelópolis.
