Edificio de las Cajas Reales, Colonial administrative building in Pachuca, Mexico.
The Edificio de las Cajas Reales features white quarry details on its facade, forged iron balconies, mini towers, and a central courtyard across two levels.
In 1670, Viceroy Antonio Sebastian de Toledo ordered the construction of this building to collect royal taxes and distribute mercury for mining operations.
The structure represents the Spanish colonial economic system, functioning as a treasury house where silver from nearby mines was stored and processed.
