The Palace of Mining is a historical building located in the center of Mexico City, constructed between 1797 and 1813. Its design was commissioned by King Carlos IV of Spain, with the purpose of housing the Royal and Pontifical Academy of Mining, the first educational institution dedicated to teaching mining in Latin America. The architect Manuel Tolsá, of Valencian origin, was responsible for its design, combining neoclassical and baroque influences in its structure. The construction of the building was carried out with high-quality materials, such as cantera stone, and is characterized by its majestic façade with Ionic columns and an imposing portico. The Palace of Mining not only served an educational function but also acted as a center for mining research and development in New Spain. Today, it is considered a historical monument and houses the Mining Museum, in addition to hosting important cultural and academic events.
