What people say

"Casa Allende is a historic building that was originally constructed in the 18th century as a private residence for the wealthy Allende family. Today, Casa Allende is a museum dedicated to the life and legacy of Ignacio Allende, a hero of the Mexican War of Independence. The museum features exhibits on Allende's life, his role in the war, and the history of San Miguel de Allende. I found the building's architecture to be the most interesting aspect. There was information in both English and Spanish, however, it was very difficult to focus on reading the info because every room has audio playing. All the audios from all the rooms playing at once while trying to read might make you feel dizzy. Cost to enter: 70 pesos. An extra 50 pesos to take photos."

"According to Victor, our food tour guide, this white statue is Ignacio Allende. And that is a life-size, he was not a very tall man. "
