Monumental House Emilio El Indio Fernandez

The medieval castle-style mansion features dark volcanic stone walls, traditional hacienda furnishings, and pre-Hispanic architectural elements throughout its grand structure.

Built in 1945 by architect Manuel Parra, this residence belonged to Emilio Fernandez, who directed and acted in numerous Mexican films between 1930 and 1960.

The mansion displays artifacts from Mexican cinema, including memorabilia from Fernandez's career and personal items from his interactions with artists like Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.

The museum opens every other weekend for guided tours, with special access during Day of the Dead celebrations and December 12 festivities.

The house incorporates baptismal fonts, religious statues from Puebla, and Talavera tiles, reflecting the fusion of European and indigenous architectural styles.
