The Alhóndiga de Granaditas is a Neoclassical former grain storage building in Guanajuato, Mexico, now housing the Regional Museum of Guanajuato. Built from 1798 to 1809 under the orders of Juan Antonio de Riaño y Bárcena, a Spaniard serving as the city's quartermaster, it is best known as the site stormed by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla's insurgent army during the first battle of the Mexican War of Independence. It forms part of the Historic Town of Guanajuato, a World Heritage site listed in 1988.
