Once you’ve stepped inside the Aguascalientes Government Palace you will swiftly realise that this is not a normal public office building. The eye-catching palace, on the edge of Plaza de la Patria, is an architectural and artistic marvel. Visit this historic building to see its large murals and to explore one of the best-preserved colonial buildings in the city. The palace started out as the mansion of the Marqués de Guadalupe, who built it in 1665\. City Hall purchased it in 1855\. Since then, it has been the home of the state government of Aguascalientes. Before entering, stop to admire the façade of the palace. The mansion was built with red tezontle stone. A row of ornate window frames gives the front a classic colonial look. Step inside to explore a two-tiered courtyard surrounded by over 110 semicircular arches bordering murals that decorate this multicolored mansion. Wander down the corridors to learn about the Aguascalientes Convention held in 1914 during the Mexican Revolution. The paintings, created by Chilean artist Osvaldo Barra Cunningham, trace the history of Aguascalientes. Look for scenes from the revolution, as well as paintings that depict traditional celebrations in the region. Upon leaving the palace, rest in the spacious Plaza de la Patria. This square in the heart of the Old Town is surrounded by historical attractions. Rest in the peaceful Catedral Basilica de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, watch a show in the Morelos Theatre or take a seat near the Exedra, a monument bearing the Republican Eagle. The Aguascalientes Government Palace is open to the public daily and entrance is free. Walk to the palace from other sights in the Old Town, such as the Regional History Museum and the Jardín de San Marcos, both of which are less than 15 minutes away on foot. Ask at the visitor office within the building for help with guided tours of the palace and further information on the history depicted in the murals. ### Popular places to visit ![Plaza en Aguascalientes](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/200000/200557-Aguascalientes.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Plaza de la Patria Learn about the local history of Aguascalientes when you take a trip to Plaza de la Patria.
