This huge stone granary was the site of the first major Mexican victory against the Spanish in the War of Independence.
Reviewed By PaulPapich - San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
This massive building is a history museum, an art museum, an anthropologiacl museum, and, best of all, the very place where one of the most important events in Mexican history actually occurred. Don't be fooled by the drab exterior. Inside you will find the story of European colonization and its many horrors, the struggle for independence from its oppressive yolk, and the courage and determination of the Mexican people portrayed in the most vivid detail. This is a "must see" while in Guanajuato.

The origin of the Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera corresponds to the stage of mining exploitation at the end of the XVII, stage focused on the discoveries of rich betas of gold and silver. At the beginning of the 19th century, with the arrival of Independence and Consummation, the mines were suspended and some mining production estates were abandoned, leaving them in ruins. In 1947, the Mexican Francisco Armida Cabrera, acquired the property and dedicated his time to the conservation of what can be seen today as a Museum and the restoration of the old town. The style that is observed inside the House Museum is the Spanish Colonial Viceroyalty on the ground floor level and the French style of the Maximilian era on the top floor. So, you can see decoration and furniture of these stages in the Treasury. In 1975 the State Government acquired the Treasury and in September of 1979 it is given the appointment of a Historic Monument and is opened to the public as a Museum.

I read some great reviews and this was on my list of places to see while in GTO. We had the whole garden to ourselves and the setting was perfection. The amount of flowers, foliage and manicured areas are a breath of fresh air from the hustle of the city. Great place for a walk and a nice tour of the hacienda preserved with original furniture and paintings. Highly recommend a short uber ride is so worth it !

Inaugurated only in March 2018, this is the newest museum in Guanajuato and it is well worth visiting. Mansion built in 1802 transformed into museum/art gallery, both historic and contemporary. Well maintained and very low price ($1.25 USD) it is worth about an hour of your time... Part of the historical lore says that the wife of the owner, (Count Rul who was known for his many love affairs with other women), kept using the back door to go in/out of the building to avoid the jokes of the people.

The birthplace of Ignacio Allende, a hero of the Mexican Revolution, is now a museum that documents the history of the region from ancient times through independence.

With signs in English and Spanish, here you will get a good feel for the local history and how an upper class home operated 200 years ago. The furniture and accessories are from the era. I found the kitchen setup particularly fascinating.
