Palacio de Iturbide, Colonial museum in Historic Center, Mexico City, Mexico

The Palacio de Iturbide stands as a four-level baroque structure built with a combination of quarry stone and red tezontle on Madero Street.

Between 1779 and 1785, architect Francisco Guerrero y Torres constructed this palace for the wedding of the counts' only daughter.

The museum displays Mexican art exhibitions from the 16th century to present day, including works from the National Bank of Mexico collection.

The palace opens daily from 10:00 to 19:00, offering free guided tours, interactive screens, and access to a library, photo archive, and video library.

The building features carved pilasters, atlantes figures, and galleries that demonstrate the architectural luxury of New Spain's baroque period.
