The Palace of Iturbide, built between 1779 and 1785, is an enormous residential building in the city's historic center. Built by the Count of San Mateo Valparaíso, he presented to his daughter as a wedding gift. Agustín de Iturbide inhabited the building from 1821 - 1823. He accepted the crown of the First Mexican Empire in the same place after the war for colonial independence had been won, and ultimately left the place with his name. Today the building hosts the Fomento Cultural Banamex and is called the Palacio de Cultura Banamex - Palacio Iturbide.
