Introduction
The Casa de la Corregidora is a decisive site of the independence movement: in the late 1700s–1800s Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez ('La Corregidora') met here in secret and passed the signal that sparked the uprising — called the first cry of Mexican independence. The building is now a museum and state ceremonial venue, its façade inscribed with her name.
