It is a 16th century New Spain civil palace, a historical monument located in Cuernavaca, Morelos (Mexico), ordered to be built by the Spaniard Hernán Cortés in the years immediately following the conquest of Mexico.

It bears an enormous similarity to the Alcázar de Colón in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic)

About Mexico City

Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.

The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.

Top-ranked sights in Mexico City: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
