Morelia has beautiful palaces that have been the scene of remarkable events in the history of the Mexican nation. The Government Palace of Michoacán, a beautiful baroque building of the 18th century, was the seat of the Tridentine Seminary and its classrooms passed through Agustín de Iturbide and José María Morelos, among other students who would make history. In the Legislative Palace, a nineteenth century building with French lines, Miguel Hidalgo signed in 1810 the decree of abolition of slavery in Mexico.
