Located in Guanajuato City, Mexico, the Regional Museum of Guanajuato Alhóndiga de Granaditas is a historic grain storage building that was originally built to replace another old grain storage structure that was previously by the water. Previously built between 1798 to 1809, it was made according to the specifications of Juan Antonio de Riaño y Bárcena, a Spanish man who held the title of “quartermaster of the city” when Mexico was “New Spain.” The name "Alhóndiga" translates into both Arabic as well as Spanish which means Wearhouse or grain market. Today, the building is built across 4,828 square metres and is 23 metres in height. The building is built on the side of the hills and two of its side are surrounded by the elevations. The building is built in a Doric style, consisting of just two types of regional stones - reddish and greenish. Before the Mexican independence, this building was used as a warehouse, prison and military barrack. Owing to its importance in Mexican history, the building was later changed into a museum.
