Palacio de Velasco, Art nouveau palace in Plaza de Armas, Guadalajara, Mexico

The Palacio de Velasco stands at the southeast corner of Plaza de Armas, featuring modernist architectural elements with a Haussmanian-style floor plan.

The palace was constructed in 1908 by architect Luis Ugarte Vizcaino on a plot of land previously owned by descendants of Spanish conquistadors.

The building represents the finest example of art nouveau architecture in Guadalajara, displaying intricate decorative elements throughout its facade and interior spaces.

The palace currently serves as the headquarters of the Jalisco State Finance Department, maintaining its administrative function while preserving its architectural heritage.

During the Mexican Revolution, the architect modified the original residential design to accommodate commercial spaces, adapting to the country's wartime conditions.
