Barrio Antiguo

The Barrio Antiguo (Spanish old quarter) is the historical quarter of the city of Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. It contains examples of Colonial era architecture. Comprising cobbled streets, the area is known for its nightlife, restaurants and bars. The area next to the Government Palace and the Macroplaza, it originally covered a larger space from the Santa Catarina River to 5 de Mayo Street, south to north, and from Mina Street to Roble Street (nowadays Avenida Benito Juárez), east to west. Most of the buildings now preserved are from the Spanish Colonial period and from the last years of the 19th century.
