Guadalajara - José Clemente Orozco's Frescos

In a former chapel can be seen what are probably José Clemente Orozco's finest frescos; painted in 1938-39, they portray the Four Elements, Art and Science, the Conquest and the Four Riders of the Apocalypse. The high point is the fresco of Mankind in Flames ("Hombre del Fuego") in the dome. Various rooms around the patios house exhibitions devoted to Orozco's works. At the end of 1997 the Hospicio Cabañas building together with the frescoes was included in the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage sites.
