Mexico City’s House of Tiles (Casa de los Azulejos) is an 18th-century city palace, built in the Baroque style. Located in the heart of the city, this historic building is known for its striking blue and white Puebla tiles that adorn its facade. The interior courtyard, a serene and inviting space, now hosts a beautifully decorated cafe, making it a popular spot for visitors. Today, while the building also houses a branch of Sanborn’s department store, many come to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and intricate tile work, savoring a moment of history and culture.
