Reviewed By murali8121 - Kochi (Cochin), India
Located in the historical centre next to the Metropolitan Cathedral and the national Palace. Open 9.00 - 5.00 except Mondays Entry ticket 80 pesos Time required to see two hours and more depending on interest The temple construction began around 1325 and was rebuilt multiple times. The Spanish partly destroyed the temple to make way for a cathedral in 1521. Templo Mayor was built as the main temple in the ancient capital city of Tenochtitlan for worshipping the God of war Huitzilopochtli, and Tlaloc, god of rain and agriculture, on top of pyramids with separate staircases. Do not miss the museum behind the excavations which exhibit plenty of the findings in several floors.

This huge stone granary was the site of the first major Mexican victory against the Spanish in the War of Independence.
Reviewed By PaulPapich - San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
This massive building is a history museum, an art museum, an anthropologiacl museum, and, best of all, the very place where one of the most important events in Mexican history actually occurred. Don't be fooled by the drab exterior. Inside you will find the story of European colonization and its many horrors, the struggle for independence from its oppressive yolk, and the courage and determination of the Mexican people portrayed in the most vivid detail. This is a "must see" while in Guanajuato.

This 16th-century structure, which served as the home of American artist and collector Robert Brady until his death in 1986, displays over 1,000 Mexican works of art and artifacts.
Reviewed By dilyshogarth - Loughton, United Kingdom
Robert Brady's house is an absolute MUST if you are in Cuernavaca . It was an unexpected delight and a fantastic eclectic collection of his treasures beautifully and colourfully displayed. Each room is a delight and a surprise and there are excellent notes in English in every room explaining the paintings and collection.
9. Palacio de Cortes
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 618 reviews
On September 19, 2017, a powerful earthquake rocked the region and damaged the building's clock, which has since been removed. At the time of writing the Palacio was to remain closed to the public for at least a year, for damage assessment and reparations. Check ahead to ensure that it is open again, or simply enjoy the building's facade. This 16th-century fort once served as the palace and home of Hernán Cortés and includes a collection of Diego Rivera murals. TEMPORARILY CLOSE FOR RENOVATION

Due to the earthquake, quite a bit has changed in Cuernavaca including being able to visit Palacio De Cortex. Best viewed from outside!
