Admire its Neoclassical-style facade and Tuscan columns before stepping inside the high-ceilinged interior. Nearby is the Teatro de la Reforma, a beautiful theatre that was constructed in 1861. Once famed as an opera house, it now hosts a variety of live music performances.

Don’t miss the Fort Casamata Museum, which occupies a former bastion of Matamoros’ 19th-century defensive system.
