Palacio de Gobierno de Jalisco
Palacio de Gobierno
A Baroque state government building, where Orozco's monumental mural of Hidalgo fills the main staircase.
The Government Palace was built in the 18th century. In 1810, independence leader Miguel Hidalgo announced the abolition of slavery here. Above the main staircase is Orozco's huge 1937 mural showing Hidalgo raising a torch, and his work also decorates the dome of the second-floor former assembly hall. The ground floor houses the state history museum. Admission is free, but you'll pass through security. It is located beside Plaza de Armas, on the south side of the cathedral.
