The handsome public space is framed by portales (arcades), the 17th-century Palacio Municipal and...

Museo de la Ciudad de Veracruz

　　Housed in a charming colonial-era building, this museum recounts Veracruz’s history from the pre-Hispanic era. Standout exhibits include some Totonaca and Huastec figures.
