'Colonial Palaces I' (pair)

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.
