Guadalupe Hidalgo, 5 miles by tramway N. of Mexico city, is the chief place of pilgrimage, and its brick cathedral the richest in all Mexico; for here is preserved a miraculous picture of a brown Virgin, painted on a peasant's coarse cloak. The treaty which ended the war with the United States was signed here, 2d February 1848.
