Our Story
This house was built in 1640 and is the oldest inhabited house in Mexico City. It has seen history run through its doors, a witness in time and of time standing firm on its grounds, ready to tell its secrets.
It was built on top of the site where the ceremonial temple of the Mexica deity of Tezcatlipoca once stood. It underwent an intense conservation process that restored almost all of its original structure; teams of stonemasons, carpenters, and blacksmiths participated in the restoration, guided by a team of masters and restorers whose names endure on the central patio’s stone.
It is one of the few buildings from the 17th century that have recovered their constituent elements to continue resolving the function that their construction imposed: their use as family homes. It is then a construction that recreates the past of this city and the society that has inhabited it, with its changes and permanence.
