Molino del Rey

The Molino del Rey building stands within the Los Pinos Cultural Complex, featuring stone walls and traditional architectural elements from colonial Mexico.

The structure, originally built in the late 16th century as El Salvador Mills for flour production, became the site of a major battle during the Mexican-American War in 1847.

The building transitioned from a military headquarters to part of the Los Pinos Cultural Complex in 2018, opening its doors for public exhibitions and events.

Visitors can access the monument through guided tours that explain its military history and architectural evolution throughout four centuries.

The structure housed the Presidential General Staff offices from 1948 to 2018, serving as a central point for presidential security operations.
