The old Palace of Justice, in Morelia, is a beautiful building with a French façade and an eclectic style that today functions as the Museum and Historical Archive of the Judicial Branch of Michoacán. This was the first Historical Museum of the Judicial Branch in Mexico and was inaugurated on May 18, 2004.
In the place where this building is located today, the Governing Board of the Spaniards was established in the old Valladolid, which is why it was called the Town Hall, which functioned until the time of Independence.
Around 1812, the building functioned as a Mint, where copper coins were minted with the emblem of the Army of the South, commanded by Don José María Morelos y Pavón.
After the integral remodeling of 1884, the front building was established as the formal seat of the Supreme Court of Justice of Michoacán as the “Palace of Justice”.
