    Zacatecas, estado (state), north-central Mexico. It is bordered by the states of Coahuila to the north, San Luis Potosí to the east, Jalisco and Aguascalientes to the south, and Nayarit and Durango to the west. Its capital is the city of Zacatecas.
    The city’s name means “place where zacate grass grows.” The historic center of Zacatecas was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993. The cathedral, noted for its highly carved portico, was begun in 1612 and completed in the mid-1700s.
    Although Zacatecas’ economy contributes only 1.1% of Mexico’s national GDP, its mining constitutes 29.3% of the Zacatecas State GDP and is responsible for making Mexico the number one producer of silver in the world. The indigenous history of Zacatecas stretches so far into the past that we are unable to say exactly when people settled in the area.
