Palacio de Zambrano, 18th century palace in Durango, Mexico

The Palacio de Zambrano features a south facade made entirely of quarry stone with multiple arches supported by Tuscan columns.

Captain Juan José Zambrano commissioned the palace construction in 1795 using funds from his mining operations in Guarizamey.

The main courtyard displays murals depicting historical figures from 1910 to 1920, created by Master Guillermo de Lourdes between 1937 and 1941.

The Francisco Villa Museum, housed in the palace, opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with discounted admission for students and teachers.

President Benito Juárez established the executive power of Mexico temporarily at this palace during his stay in 1867.
