Palacio de los Condes de San Mateo de Valparaiso, Colonial palace in Centro Histórico, Mexico City, Mexico.

The Palacio de los Condes de San Mateo de Valparaiso exhibits architectural elements combining chiluca stone, tezontle, and Puebla talavera tile details.

Construction of the palace started on December 5, 1769, and finished on May 9, 1772, under architect Francisco Antonio Guerrero y Torres' direction.

The palace contains casta paintings in several rooms, illustrating the social hierarchies and classifications that existed in New Spain during colonial times.

Located at the intersection of Isabel la Católica and Venustiano Carranza streets, the palace now functions as Forum Valparaiso, focusing on entrepreneurship.

The building served as the headquarters of the National Bank of Mexico from 1884 until 2010, when it underwent renovation for its current purpose.
