Mexico's Hacienda Architecture


Hacienda La Laja, near Querétaro, is unique among the early haciendas for the uncluttered lines of its almost minimalist architecture, particularily the entry courtyard and a remarkable colonnade facing the rear patio.

The 16th century entrance to the hacienda frames a long drive.
