HISTORICAL
ARCHITECTURE
In Tuxtla Gutierrez you can marvel at eclectic neocolonial
buildings, the dominant architectural style of the
majority of the region?s important
edifices.
Catedral de San Marcos
(Cathedral). Located between
Av. Central Oriente and Calle Central Sur. This apsidal colonial construction features a barrel vault ceiling
and three towers. The large
tower has a German carillon that rings
while figurines of the 12 apostles emerge above. Open daily
from 8:00 to 2:00 and 3:00 to 7:00.
Antiguo Palacio de
Gobierno. Located
between Av. Central Oriente
and Calle Central Norte.
This eclectic neocolonial construction, with its main entrance on one of the
building?s corners, has a balcony where you?ll see
the coat of arms of
the state of Chiapas.
