The name of the palace illustrates perfectly well what can be found inside. It was Italian architect Adamo Boari who led the construction of the palace which began in 1904.

 

The art nouveau style is one of the palace's most outstanding features. Its facade is made of marble from Carrara and in its interior, there is a crystal curtain carved with the images of the Iztlaccihuatl and Popocatepetl volcanoes.

 

This palace houses a wide variety of examples and representations of the colorful Mexican culture and of the international culture as well.

Chapultepec Castle

The Chapultepec Castle of Mexico City was built at the height of the New Spain Viceroyalty as a place where the Viceroy could spend his holidays, something like a summer house.

 

The name Chapultepec comes from Náhuatl Chapoltepec and means "the grasshopper hill". Regardless of its virtues, this amazing building was soon forgotten and used for different purposes.

 

In 1863 Maximiliano I decided that the castle should be enlarged and a Neoclassical style fortress was built. Moreover, he established his Imperial residence here. Later he ordered the construction of what is currently known as Paseo de la Reforma (Walk of the Reform) and he established an astronomical observatory in the building's tower.

 

As the republic was created, the castle was abandoned once again. However, it was President Porfirio Díaz who restored it in order to turn it into the official residence until he was thirty years old. Nowadays, the Chapultepec Castle houses the National Museum of History.
