Back | Palacio De Gobierno

The seat of Guadalajara’s Municipal Council is an eye-catching neo-Colonial building completed in 1952. The facade has an arcade, pinnacles and Guadalajara’s carved coat of arms, while the interior is known for the massive murals that decorate its hallways and chambers.

These were painted by José Clemente Orozco and Gabriel Flores, another of the luminaries to appear on the Rotunda nearby.

You can pop inside to see the monumental image of the revolutionary leader Miguel Hidalgo y Costillo on the ceiling above the main stairway.
