Located a few steps from the Taxco cable car station, next to Borda Square.

Its history dates back to the early years of the arrival of the Spaniards, as it was built by the soldiers of Hernán Cortés between 1525 and 1534. It was known as Hacienda de Cantarranas and was the first mining hacienda in America, where minerals from the area were processed into pure silver bars. 

It was named Hacienda del Chorrillo after the nearby stream of the same name. It functioned as a mining hacienda until the time of the Revolution.

It is said that during the revolutionary movement, the hacienda was plundered by Emiliano Zapata and was abandoned for a long period.

In the mid-20th century, the hacienda was acquired by the Sullivan couple, who preserved the main house and the aqueduct, renovating the construction and adding other rooms.

Currently, visitors can explore a maze of cobblestone paths that lead to the mill, the forge, and the main house. 

The remnants of an old silver foundry used during the colonial era can be seen here. It also houses the Center for Teaching Foreigners and the National School of Plastic Arts.
