Murales de Palacio de Gobierno

The history depicted in the murals of the Palace of Tlaxcala acknowledges the Spaniards as a fundamental part of national identity and places mestizaje (the mixing of Indigenous and Spanish heritage) at the center, presenting Tlaxcala as its birthplace. In fact, some scenes on the walls portray figures that reference mestizaje and its importance to the Mexican nation. One of these figures is La Malinche, who is depicted alongside Hernán Cortés, symbolizing this cultural fusion.
