Casa de los Azulejos

This beautiful blue and white house, also named the House of Tiles, was built in the 16th century, and it was the palace of the Counts of Orizaba. In 1737 it was restored in the Puebla-style. Now it is a shop and a restaurant of the Sanborn-chain.

Casa de los azulejos (House of Tiles)

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.
