Municipal Palace
Puebla State - Capital
Location: 14 Portal Hidalgo
Splendid colonial portals, solid Toscana columns, and a tower on which a clock marks the pace of time, are a few features characteristic of this attractive building of French-Spanish renaissance style, a work of architect Carlos H.Hall. Built with grey quarry stones, the Palace was finished in 1906 and is currently a typical sample of public buildings' architecture built between the years 1870 and 1910.
Its interior houses several artistic treasures, with a valuable collection of canvases and sculptures standing out. Besides, its captivating flight of stairs made of marble from Carrara is an architectonic beauty.
