Juriquilla is a small town now forming the northernmost part of the city of Querétaro in Querétaro, Mexico. It was founded originally as a hacienda in the 18th century, and fractioned into a golf course and residential area in the 1970s. It is located some 300 kilometres (190 mi) to the northwest of Mexico City, and about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of downtown state capital Santiago de Querétaro. The city is located by the Querétaro-San Luis Potosí highway. The hacienda has been converted into a hotel.
The main building of the hacienda was built in 1707. By the end of the 18th Century the owner of the property was Pedro Antonio de Septién Montero y Austri, son of Agustín de Septién y Montero, from León, Guanajuato. Pedro Antonio moved from Guanajuato to Querétaro in his youth, and became Alférez Real of the city for almost 37 years. He was also dean and mayor on many occasions. Pedro Antonio died in December 1814. In the 19th century the hacienda was bought by Timoteo Fernández de Jáuregui, who later sold it to Bernabé Loyola. This last one sold the property to Francisco Contreras and finally was bought by José Mario Romero, a wealthy businessman from nearby San Juan del Río.
