Palacio de Gobierno

Veracruz' state government occupies a palatial neoclassical building. On its north and east facades, under the arcades, are superb murals depicting historical events and people. Pop inside to see the murals above the stairways of both entrances painted by Mario Orozco Rivera (1930–1998).
