Lonely Planet review for Palacio de Minería

Opposite the National Art Museum is the Palacio de Minería, 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. The palace contains a small museum on Tolsá’s life and work.
