Museo Casa del Alfeñique
Museo Casa del Alfeñique-November 2024
Nov 14, 2024

  This renovated colonial house is an outstanding example of the over-the-top 18th-century decorative style alfeñique, characterized by elaborate stucco ornamentation and named after a candy made from sugar and egg whites (evolving into modern-day Pueblan marzipan). The 1st floor details the Spanish conquest, including indigenous accounts in the form of drawings and murals. The 2nd floor houses a large collection of historic and religious paintings, local furniture and household paraphernalia. Labeling is in Spanish only.
