Closed

Closed due to earthquake damage. Mexico City tourist agency had no idea there was no access to O'Gorman murals. Would have done something else had we known.

Impressive

This building is impressive and evocative from the outside, but unfortunately it is under renovation since the earthquake and cannot be visited on the inside--so the murals are not visible, sadly.

Would’ve been nice but closed

Was hoping it would be open by now 04/2018 but unfortunately it was still under construction due to the earthquake and remain closed. I think if it was open I would’ve enjoy the experience and history. Still looking forward to revisit it one day.

Have visited the Palace before but was looking forward to seeing it again after many years. Unfortunately, the recent earthquake damaged the building and it was being repaired during my stay in Cuernavaca,

Best Viewed from the Outside

Due to the earthquake, quite a bit has changed in Cuernavaca including being able to visit Palacio De Cortex. Best viewed from outside!
