Images: The Mural is titled "The Conquest of Cuernavaca," referring to the Spanish conquistadors conquest of Cuauhnáhuac as led by Hernán Cortés. These thumbnails and the full photos to which they link are arranged in sequential and more or less chronological order as Diego Rivera painted them and as they are placed in the balcony on the back of the Palacio's second floor. On the balcony they "read" from right to left, with the earliest events first and the later events last. To begin the sequence, click on 8a or hit the right arrow below.
