9. Palacio de Bellas Artes

CENTRO HISTORICO.   For an enjoyable evening out, take in an opera or concert at the city's famous Palace of Fine Arts. The theatre boasts a breathtaking stained glass curtain that is ceremoniously lifted before each performance. This magnificent structure also houses a museum on the second and third floors; the collection includes over 6000 works, paintings and sculpture done by some of the country's most famous artists. Construction on this notable landmark began in 1910 but was soon interrupted by the Mexican Revolution, delaying completion until 1934. This accounts for the unique mix of architectural styles that comprise the structure.   (© 10Best)
