Rising slightly to the east of the main square and festooned with television and communication towers, the Cerro de la Compania (Hill of the Bell) provides a grand panorama over the vastness that has become Hermosillo. The hill is a longtime favorite with locals - both for the view and as a romantic haunt. Recntly, the government has beautified the access road with pots of bougainville and cobblestoned the street. There is a parking area just below the towers and views stretch off to the north, west and south. The historical core lies below to the west; the business core to the northwest and out of view at the base of the hill on the northeast is the old State Prison which has been transformed into a fine museum devoted to the long and varied history of the State of Sonora.

This beautiful 19th century building houses the executvie branch of the Sonoran State government. Within the building - like in many other Mexican States - murals, which were painted in the 1980’s, depict the history and mythology of Mexico and Sonora. Sonora was a longtime backwater for Mexico, a definite deadend due to both the far distance from the Mexican heartland and extremely harsh climate. The ‘Sonoran Dynasty’ initiated by Alvaro Obregon, the general who ended the long Mexican Revoluiton in 1920 by beating all other comers, changed things somewhat (Obregon was followed by Elias Calles who ruled Mexico directly and indirectly until choosing Lazaro Cardenas as his presidential successor in 1934, a man who proved not to be as pliable as Calles had hoped), though Ford Motors has probably changed the face of Hermosillo more than any other factor.
