Palaces to visit Mexico

A beautiful building on a beautiful square, with a porfirien style. Frequently reworked since his foundation in 1879, he has some interesting paintings - works by Hector Martinez Arteche on the ground floor, Enrique Estrada and Teresa Moran on the floor - which represent decisive moments in the history of Sonora: the fight waged by the natives against the conquistadors, the legend of the Five Suns reflecting the evolution of humanity, slavery, liberation, victory.

This beautiful Baroque style residence was built at the end of the 18th century by the Counts of San Mateo Valparaiso as a dowry for their daughter. A few years later, this residence became the residence of Agustín Iturbide, a soldier who played an important role in Mexico's independence and was proclaimed emperor under the name of Agustín I in 1822. Today, the building is occupied by the Banamex Foundation, which has opened historic rooms on the first floor, while hosting top-level temporary exhibitions on the ground floor.
