Casa Chihuahua Centro de Patrimonio Cultural, Cultural heritage center in central Chihuahua City, Mexico.
Casa Chihuahua is a museum housed in a neoclassical building with French Beaux-Arts architecture, distinguished by columns at the main entrance and several exhibition areas. The interior provides space for rotating collections and presentations that showcase regional history and crafts.
The building was originally founded as a Jesuit college and later served as a military hospital and mint. In the basement are the cell blocks where independence leader Miguel Hidalgo spent his final days in 1811.
The center displays exhibitions about regional traditions and how people in Chihuahua preserve their heritage today. Visitors can see how local crafts and everyday objects reflect the identity of this region.
The center has a café and bookstore where visitors can take a break. The location is central and easily reached on foot from other historical sites in the city.
The building was converted to a cultural center in 2004 after serving multiple purposes over centuries. This layered history is reflected in how different parts of the structure tell separate chapters of its past.
