Museo Robert Brady
American artist and collector Robert Brady (1928-86) lived in Cuernavaca for 24 years. His home, Casa de la Torre, was originally part of the monastery within the Recinto de la Catedral. After an extensive renovation, Brady decorated it with paintings, carvings, textiles, antiques and folk art that he'd acquired on his travels. Now a museum, it boasts several paintings by well-known Mexican artists, including Tamayo, Kahlo and Covarrubias.

Palacio de Cortés
Construction of this imposing fortress-style palace was accomplished between 1522 and 1532, and was done on the base of the pyramid that Cortés destroyed, still visible from various points on the ground floor. Cortés resided here until he turned tail for Spain in 1540. It remained with his family for most of the next century, but by the 18th century it was being used as a prison. During the Porfirio Díaz era, it became government offices.
