CASA DEL MAYORAZGO DE LA CANAL

Erected at the end of the ^18th century at the request of Manuel Tomás de la Canal, this palace is one of the finest examples of Spanish civil architecture in the Bajío. It played a crucial role in Mexico's political and social events, hosting secret meetings of Creole conspirators during the struggle for independence. Restored by the National Bank of Mexico in 2011, it now houses temporary exhibitions tracing the history of the region.
