Step into a building where 500 years of history unfold at the Palacio de la Autonomía. This beautiful eclectic-style palace in the heart of the historic center is a true cultural hub, now housing a university museum. You can wander through the ground floor galleries for free, where you'll find fascinating, and sometimes quirky, temporary exhibits alongside a permanent collection dedicated to the history of dentistry in Mexico. It's a place with deep roots in the city's story, once a convent and later the site where the national university won its freedom, offering a unique and quiet escape just steps from the bustling Zócalo.
