This building dates back to 1967. It occupies the site where the State Historical Archive, the State Museum of Mexico, the Public Library, and the Pípila Alley were located.
It features a neocolonial facade that creates a beautiful architectural ensemble with the other buildings facing Plaza de los Mártires. On the west staircase, there are impressive murals created to commemorate the Bicentennial of Mexico's Independence.

On the north and south sides of the pedestal, there are two beautiful reliefs representing the capture of the Granary of Granaditas and the Battle of Monte de las Cruces.

Palacio Municipal (City Hall)
A neoclassical-style building constructed between 1872 and 1873.
The Municipal Palace was built on the grounds formerly occupied by the cemetery of the Franciscan convent of Our Lady of the Assumption.
Originally, the building had a neoclassical facade, but in the late 1960s, it was decided to change it to ensure a homogeneous architectural style among all the buildings in Plaza de los Mártires.
Currently, it features a beautiful porch with three arches that provide access to the vestibule, from where you can enter the central courtyard.
