Quintas Carolinas, Historic mansion estate in Chihuahua, Mexico
The main house features twin observation towers and a central glass dome, with salmon-colored corridors leading to mosaic-paved walkways and stone staircases.
In 1896, Luis Terrazas purchased the Labor de Trias property and built this mansion as a gift for his wife Carolina Cuilty, naming it Quinta Carolina.
The estate includes Saint Charles Borromeo Chapel, administrative buildings, stables, workers' quarters, and three kiosks, representing late 19th-century Mexican hacienda architecture.
Located 15 minutes north of downtown Chihuahua, the cultural center offers free admission and includes exhibition halls, a projection room, and a musical learning facility.
The property influenced the city's infrastructure development, as the local tram line extended its route specifically to reach this estate in 1909.

The Mexican state of Chihuahua extends from desert plains to pine forests in the Sierra Madre Occidental, reaching elevations above 2000 meters. The region preserves a rich cultural and natural heritage that includes pre-Columbian rock art, colonial-era mining facilities, and religious buildings from several centuries. The landscape features deep gorges, natural waterfalls, and extensive mountain ranges. Archaeological sites document the early settlement of the region, while churches and chapels reflect Spanish influence from the 16th century onward. The diverse ecosystems range from arid zones to dense coniferous forests and support varied flora and fauna.
