Located on foot from the historic center in Calle Cabañas # 8.- It is a neoclassical building, emblematic of the city. It served as a home for orphans from 1810 to 1980.
The very affordable entrance fee $ 45 MXN. Weights, the tour is guided if you so choose, and it really is what I suggest, because that way you know the history of this magnificent place and the explanation of the mural paintings by the master José Clemente Orozco.
