Government Palace
by Laura_Mexico
This is the headquarters of the State government (Morelia is the capital or the state of Michoacan, so the governor works here). On the lower right corner of the picture you can also see a Tourist information booth, a little tram car that tours the downtown area and a tiny police car that also patrols the area and can aid tourists should they need it. Located on Madero avenue, across the street from the Cathedral.
