An old wagon rests in the verdant patio of this regal building. Built in 1748 by the Bishop of Nueva Galicia, Dr. Juan G???mez de Parada and his brother, Dean of the Cathedral Dr. Gin???s G???mez de Parada, today it houses Guadalajara’s Legislative Palace. More rustic in style, the Palacio de Huitzimengari in Patzcuaro boasts a red tile roof and arches faced with quarry stone. The lovely lithographs reproduce Guillermo Fern???ndez de Castro’s original watercolor paintings. Titled “Palacios coloniales” in Spanish.
