Mexicali

Sights in Mexicali

  1. A

    Cervecería Mexicali

    Two blocks southwest of the rectory, the former Cervecería Mexicali sits vacant but in a good state of preservation despite fire damage in 1986. Opened in 1923 under a German master brewer, it satisfied local demand for half a century and even managed to export some of its production.

    Casa de la Cultura

    The Catedral de la Virgen de Guadalupe is Mexicali's major religious landmark. One block north, on Av Madero between Altamirano and Morelos, the former Escuela Cuauhtémoc is a neoclassical building that now serves as the city's Casa de la Cultura, which hosts rotating art exhibitions.
