Many individuals usually wouldn't explain a building as being particularly "special," (unless you built it!) however; there's one really specific building in the cosmopolitan city of Guadalajara, Mexico which is certainly deserving of the title.

Upon entering the Caba�as Cultural Institute you'll find this to be true due to the rich history of the building and also because the Institute is home to several of the most fascinating Mexican murals by the late and brilliant muralist Jose Clemente Orozco.


The structure was named after its founder and even monetary backer Bishop Juan Ruiz de Caba�as.
Something so extremely endearing about this fantastic treasure in Guadalajara is that it was originally designed to provide a house for orphans, the poor, handicapped and the elderly.

To not surprising, it turned into a World Heritage website in 1997 and can be described by many as being "simply breathtaking!"

The Caba�as Cultural Institute is affectionately identified by a lot of the elders in Guadalajara by its previous title of Hospicio Caba�as (Caba�as Orphanage). If you question many of them, one or two may fondly remember passing by to see little children playing happily.

The construction of this specific design started out during the early 1800's under the supervision of architect Manuel Tulsa as well as its doors have been was established in 1810 towards the very first orphans while still under construction. Sad to say, the construction had to stop temporarily on account of the War for Mexican Independence (1810-1821) and was not completed until around 1845.

In 1937 Jose Clemente Orozco (Jalisco native) was invited by way of the government to try to paint the chapel on the Institute which he later finished in 1939.

The Caba�as Cultural Institute has become utilized as a cultural promotion center and offers classes and also trips of the awe inspiring large scale murals by Orozco including the world of his popular mural Man of Fire (Hombre de Fuego).
