Museum of the Royal Houses

The Museum of the Royal Houses or Royal Palaces, as it was called during the colonial era, had as its headquarters two palaces, which date from the sixteenth century. This royal palace was built by orders of the Spanish Crown, under the reign of Ferdinand II of Aragon, on October 5, 1511, in order to house the main government offices of the time.

This was called as Building of the Royal Houses, since in it was the Royal Audience, which was the first court of the New World, it was also used as the Residence of the Governors and General Captains of the time, this second was called as Captaincy General.
