The House of the Palestina is a unique property in Huaquechula. Built in the 18th century, it stands out for its compound arches and interior moldings, it is located right next to the famous San Marino de Tours former convent. This will be our setting for the conservation, rescue and enhancement project, in which we collaborate with the INAH Puebla Center, the Huaquechula City Hall and the State Department of Culture. Added to this is the exchange of good practices that will be carried out through the French Embassy in Mexico, with the French association REMPART. Our goal is to revitalize this historic building to return it to the cultural activities of this town, with the possibility that it will soon house the museum itself. With this, we contribute to the rescue of the Cultural Heritage, as well as to the improvement of the quality of life of the inhabitants of Huaquechula.
