Antiguo Palacio Federal, Art Deco government building in downtown Monterrey, Mexico
The Antiguo Palacio Federal displays geometric patterns and ornate detailing across its facade, representing architectural elements from the 1920s Art Deco movement.
Constructed in 1929, this former federal palace marked a period of institutional modernization in Mexico, becoming the first major government building in Monterrey.
