Instituto Allende occupies a grand 18th-century palace, once a residence of the Count of Canal. Today, it's a vibrant cultural hub where visitors can take art classes in painting, sculpture, and more, or simply explore its galleries and gardens. The school's open studios allow observation of artists at work, and the courtyard café is a popular meeting spot. Its historic architecture and creative energy make it a must-visit for art enthusiasts.
