The House of Tiles is an impressive colonial mansion that was built in 1596, this house is covered with beautiful blue and white tiles. The tiles actually come from Puebla, Mexico. The bright colors really make the structure stand out. The tiles are very clean and the site is an excellent photo opportunity. Today the house is home to a Sanbourn's (see my dining entry) and a drugstore. Walk through the drugstore if you get a chance and check out all the Mexican knick knacks. Various Counts of Orizaba lived here in times past.
