 Palacio de Bellas Artes

This magnificent building in Mexico City is an iconic symbol of the country's cultural heritage. Built in the early 20th century, the Palacio de Bellas Artes is a stunning example of architectural.

The project was led by Italian architect Adamo Boari, who promoted the Nouveau style. After several years of the project being paralyzed, the Mexican Federico Mariscal took over and completed it in 1928 with the Art Deco style that was predominant at the time. It houses a concert hall and a museum that exhibits Mexican art.

As Mexico City’s major cultural center, the Palacio de Bellas Artes hosts art exhibitions and a range of live events, including music, dance, theater, and opera. The building is a mix of art nouveau, art deco, and baroque architectural styles referred to as Porfiriano, after Mexican President Porfirio Diaz who commissioned the project.

Other renovations have been carried out on the site, including the construction of the underground parking lot in 1993; a year later the remodeling of the exhibition halls of the Museum of the Palace of Fine Arts; and from 2000 to 2004, the restoration of its domes.
