Casa del Cerro is a symbol of Torreón because of its invaluable historical significance. Built in the early 20th century, it was the residence of Dr. Jorge C. Orozco, and its observatory played a crucial role in determining the official time. Today, it is a museum that tells the story of the region and offers spectacular panoramic views of the city. A true journey into the past.

Due to its original design and hilltop location, accessibility at Casa del Cerro for people with reduced mobility may be limited in certain areas.
