Palacio de Gobierno de Michoacán

The Palacio de Gobierno de Michoacán is an administrative building in central Morelia with baroque architecture and decorative stone details along Avenida Madero Poniente. Inside, exhibition rooms display historical objects and governmental documents from different periods.

Construction of this administrative building began in the early 1700s and marked the establishment of regional administrative power in colonial Michoacán. It became the center of political and administrative functions for the region and has maintained that role ever since.

The interior murals show key moments from Michoacán's past and tell the story of how the region developed. Visitors can see these artworks today and understand how local people represent their heritage.

The building is open to visitors during regular business hours and welcomes exploration of its exhibition areas. Look for clear entrances and signs to navigate through the different rooms and displays inside.

The exterior walls are built from pink quarried stone, reflecting the architectural look of Morelia's historic district. This stone type was typical for regional building projects and gives this structure its distinctive appearance.
