Alhóndiga de Granaditas Regional Museum, History museum in Guanajuato, Mexico
The stone building features strong neoclassical architecture with thick defensive walls, grand staircases, and multiple exhibition halls across several floors.
Built in 1798 as a grain storage facility, the structure became a battlefield during the Mexican Independence War in 1810, marking a turning point.
The museum displays over 9,000 artifacts including pre-Hispanic objects, colonial art, and Mexican Revolution items across 14 permanent exhibition rooms.
The museum maintains regular visiting hours from Tuesday to Sunday, with guided tours available in Spanish and English upon request.
Three large murals by Jose Chavez Morado decorate the main staircase, depicting the abolition of slavery and Guanajuato's contributions to Mexico.
