Suprema Corte de Justicia
The Supreme Court of Justice, built between 1935 and 1941, is the highest court in the country. Inside, on the main staircase and its landings, are Orozco murals depicting a theme of justice. During the colonial period, a tianguis or market known as the Plaza del Volador was established that also doubled up as the local bull-ring until 1929 when the Supreme Court was finally built.
Within the walls of this prominent building, one can also find paintings by Jose Clemente Orozco and the North American George Biddle, along with two sculptures by Ernesto Tamiz.
