Government Palace of Aguascalientes, Government building in central Aguascalientes, Mexico.

The Government Palace features red tezontle stone walls with pink quarry stone balconies and five heraldic emblems on its Baroque architecture facade.

The building originated in 1665 when Bernarda Salado exchanged land with priest Pedro Rincón de Ortega for constructing a residence for his estate heirs.

Inside the palace, Chilean artist Oswaldo Barra Cunningham created five frescoes between 1961 and 1991, depicting regional history and traditions.

Located at Plaza de la Patria in downtown Aguascalientes, the palace opens Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM with free admission.

The interior structure contains 110 semicircular arches decorated with sculptural keys and Corinthian columns maintaining original Baroque elements.
