One of the most prestigious and grandiose places in Mexico. The location of Palacio de Bellas Artes is by the east of Alameda Park. The building was the first National theater of Mexico but the government wanted to build something more significant. In 1904, an Italian architect Adamo Boari undertook the design and construction, however how Mexico was having political problems the project ended. In 1934, the construction started again with a mexican architect named Federico Mariscal. It's facade is made from marble and its interior has a crystal curtain. It has many frescos and murals. Something interesting is that it has two early 1950's artwork by Rufino Tamayo. This beautiful building is definitely a sight to see.
