Inside the enchanting Instituto Cultural de Cabañas lies a series of captivating and moving modernist murals, which you have to see up close in order to appreciate their true beauty. The building was founded by Juan Cruz Ruiz de Cabañas and designed by Spanish architect Manuel Tolsá; it was formerly an orphanage and constructed between 1805 and 1810. José Clemente Orozco painted the 57 magnificent murals, between the years1938 and 1939, channelling the archetypal struggle for freedom into them. The murals depict pre-Hispanic Jalisco and the conquest. Make sure you look around the grounds as well to really appreciate the brilliant architecture.
