About this place

This important building is the seat of the federal executive and it located in the sole city center. The great city square called Palaza de la Constitución stretches in front of this building. Even though this building host some important offices, visitors are allowed to go through some of them and in that way see the interior of the building.

The exterior of the building is painted in dark red color. Two towers are located on the front facade and together with the central part they form the three main doorways. The main balcony used for special ceremonies and for presidential appearances is located in the central doorway.

There is a spacious patio inside of the building. Baroque arches surround it while the murals made by Diego Rivera describe the history of Mexico. This description is called the Epic of the Mexican People. Rivera made a fantastic work and vividly described the history from the arrival of the Spaniard until 1930.
