Old Customs Buildings, Mexico City, Colonial customs building in Centro Histórico, Mexico City, Mexico.
The historic customs building features a stone facade with classical architectural elements located across from Plaza Santo Domingo in Mexico City.
From 1729 to 1735, the building was constructed to house the institution responsible for taxing merchandise transactions during the Spanish colonial period.
The main staircase displays the mural 'Patricios y patricidas' created by David Alfaro Siqueiros in 1946, representing Mexican political and social themes.
The building now serves as the headquarters of the Ministry of Public Education, situated at 31 República de Brasil Street in Mexico City.
The building's construction connects to a legend about Juan Gutiérrez Rubín de Celis, who promised to complete it within six months to marry Sara García.
