Museo Obispado in Monterrey for THOT Publications

Museo Obispado in Monterrey for THOT Publications.

The property was built at the end of the Viceroyalty at the request of the Franciscan friar Rafael José Verger, second Bishop of the Diocese of Linares, who promoted the erection of a house of rest and prayer on land that was granted to him by the City Council of the city of Monterrey in 1787. This building, commonly known as “El Obispado”, has great historical and architectural value. The first restoration was carried out in 1946 and ten years later, in 1956, it was inaugurated as a museum. Around 1998 the corridors and arcades of the main façade were replaced and the interior of the dome of the oratory was decorated.
