Lonely Planet review for Nacional Monte de Piedad

Facing the Catedral Metropolitana’s west side is Mexico’s national pawnshop, the Nacional Monte de Piedad, founded in 1774 by silver magnate Pedro Romero de Terreros. People pawn their jewelry and other possessions in the central hall for loans at 4% interest; unclaimed items are sold in shops off the central passageway. A store at the entrance sells outstanding handicrafts from Oaxaca.
