Why you need to check out Guadalajara rightnow

Many people usually wouldn't describe a building as being particularly "special," (unless you built it!) however; there is one very special building in the cosmopolitan town of Guadalajara, Mexico which is definitely worthy of the title.

Upon keying in the Caba�as Cultural Institute you will find this to be accurate due to the rich history of the construction and in addition because the Institute is home to several of the most interesting Mexican murals by the late and brilliant muralist Jose Clemente Orozco.

The building was named after its founder plus financial backer Bishop Juan Ruiz de Caba�as.
Something so very endearing relating to this fantastic treasure in  Guadalajara  is that it was originally intended to provide a house for orphans, the bad, handicapped and the elderly.

To no surprise, it turned into a World Heritage web site in 1997 and can be described by many as being "simply breathtaking!"

The Caba�as Cultural Institute is affectionately identified by many of the elders within Guadalajara by its previous name of Hospicio Caba�as (Caba�as Orphanage). In case you ask many of them, one or 2 may fondly recall passing by to see little children playing happily.

The development of this particular structure began during the early 1800's under the supervision of architect Manuel Tulsa and its doors were opened in 1810 for the very first orphans while still below construction. Unfortunately, the building had to stop temporarily as a result of the War for Mexican Independence (1810-1821) and also was not completed until around 1845.

In 1937 Jose Clemente Orozco (Jalisco native) was invited with the authorities to try to paint the chapel of the Institute that he later completed in 1939.

The Caba�as Cultural Institute has become used as a cultural marketing center and also offers classes along with trips of the awe inspiring big scale murals by Orozco such as the world of his famous mural Man of Fire (Hombre de Fuego).
