Palacio de Gobierno

South of the Plaza Principal is the Palacio de Gobierno. Look inside to see some impressive and colorful murals. Painted by José Luis Soto and finished in 1999, they present a contemporary imagining of the history of Mexico. Soto’s frenetic, surreal vision of hell and conflict beneath the cupola is chilling.
