Lonely Planet review

Opposite the national art museum is the Palace of Mining, where mining engineers were trained in the 19th century. Today it houses a branch of the national university's engineering department. A neoclassical masterpiece, the palace was designed by Tolsá and built between 1797 and 1813. Visits are by guided tour only. There's a small museum (admission around $10 ; h - Wed-Sun) on the illustrious architect's life and work.
