Casa de los Azulejos, Mexico City

Access unknown
We could not determine this from the source data.
Note the conflict: the facts sheet says Art Nouveau, but the source describes an 18th-century Baroque palace. The source governs, so I describe it as Baroque and omit the Art Nouveau label.
The Casa de los Azulejos, or House of Tiles, is a Baroque palace in Mexico City, also known as the Palace of the Counts of Valle de Orizaba. Construction began in the 16th century, and in 1737 the family covered its exterior with blue and white Talavera tiles from Puebla, which remain on three sides of the facade. The Sanborns brothers later bought the building, and it now serves as the flagship restaurant of their chain.
