Casa Borda

Casa Borda stands as a four-story structure with its main entrance at ground level on the zócalo and its rear window opening to a steep drop.

José de la Borda commissioned the construction of this residence in 1759, during the period when Taxco flourished as a silver mining center.

The building now operates as a cultural center, presenting experimental theater performances and exhibitions of contemporary sculpture, painting, and photography from Guerrero artists.

Located in Plaza Borda, the cultural center maintains regular contact through phone numbers 762-622-66-17, 622-66-32, and 622-66-34 for event information and visits.

The architectural design creates an optical illusion where the building appears as a single story from the front plaza but reveals four levels at its rear facade.
