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.

Located at coordinates 20.130084, -98.730216, this historical structure stands in the center of Pachuca, near other colonial-era monuments and squares.

During a miners' strike in 1766, workers entered the building to free their imprisoned colleagues, marking a significant moment in labor history.
