The Teatro Juárez wasn't a quick build — construction stretched across three decades, from 1872 to 1903, on a site that had previously held a Franciscan convent and then a hotel, both demolished to make way for it. Architect José Noriega drew up the original design under orders from General Florencio Antillón, and it was later completed by architect Antonio Rivas Mercado and engineer Alberto Malo, whose later changes reshaped much of the exterior and interior. The result pairs a neoclassical exterior — twelve Doric columns topped with bronze capitals and statues of eight of the nine Muses — with an interior lobby done in an ornate, art-nouveau-leaning Moorish style, carved wood and stained glass included. President Porfirio Díaz himself presided over the theater's grand opening on October 27, 1903; by coincidence, that same day in the same city, Díaz also unveiled the Monumento a la Paz in the nearby Plaza de la Paz, commemorating the end of Mexico's War of Independence. Since 1972, the Teatro Juárez has served as the main venue for the Festival Internacional Cervantino, one of Latin America's major performing-arts festivals.
The Diego Rivera House-Museum sits in the real house where the muralist was born on December 8, 1886 — along with his twin brother Carlos, who died at age two. The family lived there until Rivera was six, when they relocated to Mexico City. According to museum accounts, it was after his brother's death that young Diego began drawing on the walls of the house, prompting his parents to install chalkboards and canvases to channel the habit. The building was restored and opened as a museum on September 8, 1975, an effort pushed forward in large part by Rivera's own daughter, Guadalupe Rivera Marín, working with Mexico's National Institute of Fine Arts. Today the ground floor recreates the Rivera family's 19th-century household, while the upper floors hold a genuine collection of his original paintings and preparatory sketches, including studies tied to some of his famous Mexico City murals.
Plaza de la Paz, the third named stop, has a longer and more layered history than its current look suggests. It was known simply as the Plaza Mayor for most of the colonial era and only took its present name in 1903 — the same year as the Teatro Juárez's debut. The plaza's dominant building, the Basílica Colegiata de Nuestra Señora de Guanajuato, is considerably older: construction began in 1671 and finished in 1696, funded by the city's own mine owners, and the statue of the Virgin of Guanajuato inside is traditionally said to have been a gift from King Philip II of Spain. The church wasn't formally elevated to the rank of basilica until 1957.
