About Alhóndiga de Granaditas
Spanish colonial authorities built the Alhóndiga de Granaditas in Guanajuato in the late eighteenth century as a public granary and grain exchange for the city's silver-mining region. In 1810, Miguel Hidalgo's insurgent forces stormed the royalist-held building in an early, bloody battle of the Mexican War of Independence. It became a symbol of the independence movement.
