Casa de los Vientos (Exekatlkalli) Diego Rivera Mural
Exekatlkalli
A mosaic mural of Aztec myths created by Diego Rivera on the exterior wall of a friend's house late in his life, visible right from the street.
Between 1956 and 1957, the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera created a mosaic on the exterior wall of the home of his close friend Dolores Olmedo in the old town. Using colored tiles and seashells, he depicted Aztec deities such as Quetzalcoatl and the wind god. The work is known as Exekatlkalli, Nahuatl for “House of the Wind,” and it is one of the last works he completed before his death. The house is private, but the mural can be viewed for free from the street on Calle Inalámbrica. It is about a 5-minute walk from La Quebrada.
