'''Calvillo''' ({{IPA|es|kalˈβiʝo|lang|Calvillo.ogg}}) is a [[Settlement classification in Mexico|city]] in the [[Mexican state]] of [[Aguascalientes]]. The town serves as the municipal seat of the surrounding [[municipality of Calvillo]]. Calvillo is the second most populated city in the state, surpassed in importance only by the capital city. It is located about 52 kilometers from the city of Aguascalientes. It stands at  {{coord|21|51|N|102|43|W|}} in the southwestern corner of the state.

==History==
During the French invasion of Mexico, the north part of the valley of Huajuacar in which Calvillo lays, was occupied by the French. At the time, they intermixed with the descendants of Spaniards which already inhabited the south part of the valley. This fact made Calvillo the municipality with most Caucasian-origin inhabitants in the state, compared with the other municipalities.

Calvillo is the largest guava producer in Mexico and famous for its superb confectionery and liqueurs made from this fruit, which you can sample at the Guava Fair held during the first week of December.

The economy in Calvillo is centered on the guava, although there is other agriculture and a great deal of commerce. Calvillo is better known as the world capital of the guava.

==Demographics==
As of 2010, Calvillo had a total population of 19,742,<ref name=SEDESOL>{{cite web|title=Calvillo|url=http://www.microrregiones.gob.mx/catloc/LocdeMun.aspx?tipo=clave&campo=loc&ent=01&mun=003|work=Catálogo de Localidades|publisher=[[Secretaría de Desarrollo Social]] (SEDESOL)|accessdate=23 April 2014|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304131410/http://www.microrregiones.gob.mx/catloc/LocdeMun.aspx?tipo=clave&campo=loc&ent=01&mun=003|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Tourism==
Calvillo has a number of attractions of interest to tourists. One of them is the Main Square, which dates from 1778 and is famous for its orange trees. Calvillo is also home to the Temple of Our Lord of the Salitre; built in 1772, its interior features paintings that are considered jewels of religious art. The attractive dome topping the church has an exceptional size and diameter. Its rarest feature is that it is made as a single architectural piece; there are only five domes of this style worldwide. The interior of the dome features exquisite frescoes depicting the life of St. Joseph, the patron saint of the city. The Guadalupe Temple is another important church featuring majestic towers.

Another interesting place is the Malpaso Dam. The outskirts of Calvillo are a magnet for tourists. The Sierra del Laurel, south of the town, is a prolongation of [[Sierra Fría]] and highly sought-after by rock climbers because of its steep sides. Also nearby are the La Cordorniz Dam, and the ex-convent of the Tepozán, where, at the bottom of the gully, there is a rocky area with cave paintings. The prehistoric paintings of [[El Tepozan]] show diverse figures in different colors imprinted in various eras. Very close to these two attractions, in the town of La Panadera and chikis  it is still practiced the old craft of embroidery and unthreading or "deshilados", the state's craft by excellence.

Calvillo has the leading position in exports of guava Mexico and famous for its superb confectionery and liqueurs made from this fruit, which you can sample at the Guava Fair held during the first week of December.

The economy in Calvillo is centered on the guava, although there is other agriculture and a great deal of commerce.  Calvillo is better known as the world capital of the guava.
Calvillo has also been hit by floods in 1991 and 2008 causing damage (Estimated cost combined by inflation is 67 million.)
People from Calvillo are called "calvillenses".
