Centro Cultural El Refugio

Former hospital turned cultural centre in Tlaquepaque

Centro Cultural El Refugio fills a large 1885 former hospital in Tlaquepaque. The building now hosts exhibitions, cultural events, and the Pantaleon Panduro collection, which displays prize-winning pieces from Mexico's National Ceramics Contest.

It is worth pairing with El Parian and the surrounding craft shops. The building itself is part of the appeal: long corridors, courtyards, and the slightly solemn scale of a 19th-century institution reused for art.
