The Bishop’s Palace is one of the most valuable historical monuments in northeastern Mexico. It was built at the end of the colonial era by the Franciscan Bishop Friar Rafael José Verger in 1787. During the 19th century it was used several times as a military fortress and was bravely defended by Mexican troops during the American invasion and the French Intervention. A symbol of Monterrey, it became the Regional Museum of Nuevo León in 1956 to preserve the state’s valuable historical heritage.
