Government Palace of Nuevo León
Palacio de Gobierno de Nuevo León
A neoclassical palace of pink sandstone at the north end of the Macroplaza. It houses historic murals and a small museum, and it is free to visit.
The Palacio de Gobierno de Nuevo León was built between 1895 and 1908 of local pink sandstone. Its neoclassical façade is dignified and elegant, and it forms the visual end point of the north side of the Macroplaza. The interior courtyard and staircases are richly decorated, and some rooms are open as a small museum displaying artifacts of Nuevo León's history. Admission is free, but you must pass through security screening. The lawn in front hosts ceremonies and rallies, and the building looks striking when lit up in the evening.

Tue–Sun about 10:00–18:00
