Alhóndiga de Granaditas
The Alhóndiga de Granaditas is a historic building located in Guanajuato, Mexico. Originally constructed in the late 18th century, it served as a grain storage facility and marketplace. Its robust architecture features thick stone walls and a large central courtyard, reflecting the colonial style of the period.
During the Mexican War of Independence, the Alhóndiga became a significant site of conflict. In 1810, it was the location of a pivotal battle where Hidalgo's forces fought against the Spanish. Today, the building houses a museum that showcases the history of the region and its role in Mexico's fight for independence.
