House of Culture

House of Culture (Casa de Cultura) is 4 blks. n. of Plaza de Armas on Av. Morelos Norte 485. This peach-colored, architecturally striking building was salvaged from the ruins of a 350-year-old Carmelite monastery. The central courtyard serves as an open-air theater for drama, dance and music groups, and also provides studio space for artists.
