Guided Walk Mexico City - In the footsteps of Manuel Tolsá

Let´s make a guided walk in Mexico City, in the footsteps of Manuel Tolsá, by certified guide, in English and Spanish.

Manuel Tolsá (1757–1816) was a Spanish-born architect, sculptor, and engineer who left a lasting legacy in Mexico with his grand contributions to art and architecture during the late colonial period.

Upon arriving in New Spain (Mexico) in 1791, Tolsá quickly became a prominent figure in the city's cultural and architectural transformation. His most famous work is El Caballito, the magnificent equestrian statue of King Charles IV. This bronze sculpture, completed in 1803, is a marvel of its time and a striking example of neoclassical art in the Americas.

Tolsá also designed and oversaw the construction of some of Mexico City's most iconic buildings. The Palacio de Minería, completed in 1813, stands as a testament to his architectural genius, blending neoclassical elements with practical design. His work on the Altar de los Reyes in the Metropolitan Cathedral further showcased his ability to combine artistic vision with religious grandeur.

The price for the guided walk in English and Spanish by certified guide with a small group is 250 pesos. Prepaid 100 %, by cash payment at any 7 Eleven store.
