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.
To avoid Torreón’s intense heat, we suggest visiting Casa del Cerro from autumn through spring. If you want to enjoy the panoramic views at their best, the late afternoon is ideal, as you will see the city in the light of sunset, creating an unforgettable landscape. Bring your camera!
Due to its original design and hilltop location, accessibility at Casa del Cerro for people with reduced mobility may be limited in certain areas. We recommend contacting the museum directly by phone for detailed information and to plan your visit in the best way possible. You can find the number on the Torreón City Council page.
Near Casa del Cerro, you can visit the famous Christ of the Noas, an imposing monument with spectacular views, and Revolution Park, a green space ideal for relaxing. You can also visit the Arocena Museum, which offers art and cultural exhibitions. Torreón has a lot to offer.
Of course. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes, since there is a bit of an uphill walk to get there. Do not forget your camera to capture the impressive views of Torreón. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially in the warmer months, and check the weather forecast before you go. Enjoy this historic gem.
