Construction of the residence was started in 1526, for which the local population was employed. Cortés decided to build his residence on top of a hill, on the ruins of the lordship of Cuauhnahuac. This place had been used by the Aztecs to collect tribute, and therefore it was a symbol of Cortés' dominance over the conquered territory.

I love both of these. That's sure a very nice effect you've made on the poster-style shot. I would drive past the salon looking for it. That place must get noticed. I like the building's architecture, too. Happy them day, Carraol.

I forgot all about theme day. I see you remembered with two nice shots.
Great shots with history...bloody history...
I like the colours in both photos - so bright and sunny. And the first picture looks like water colour paintig:)
What wonderful yellows. The building is so bright and cheerful and the posterization of the tree is a delight. Bueno!
The building couldn't be more yellow. Colour is one of the things I find most fascinating and pleasurable about Mexico. Your Van Gogh is perfect for the post!
Adore the first photograph and the treatment you have given it. Bravo!
Great work and composition on the first shot and amazing (yellow) architecture on the second!
