An intriguing residence (or, yeah, castle) built for a family that emigrated here from Scotland. It even has a moat, but it probably has lost a bit of luster over the years.
Castillo Ortega-Douglas, also known as Castillo Douglas, is a castle-like house in central Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico. Designed by Federico Mariscal and supervised by J. Refugio Reyes Rivas, it was built for Edmundo Ortega Douglas, whose maternal grandfather, John Douglas (1849–1918), had emigrated to Mexico from Scotland. The house is notable for having the features of a medieval castle, including a moat, a drawbridge, battlements, turrets, and a stained glass window.

Museo de Aguascalientes
Built out of pink quarry. It has a collection of 20th century arts including the works of Saturnio Herran, who was born in Aguascalientes. Herran's arts include portraits of the everyday citizen painted with a high degree of sensitivity toward his subjects. His work is very similar to art nouveau.
Baroque-style from 1895.
Museo de Arte Contemporáneo No. 8
With its various inset exterior panoramas, the building looks like a work of art.
Museo Nacional de la Muerte
The national museum of death. Celebrating the Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead with many beautiful works ranging from pre-Hispanic period to today. Many people visit Aguas for this museum alone.
Templo de La Virgen De La Inmaculada Concepción de San Diego
This church's construction also began in the 1600s by the Franciscans of San Diego. There is a convent of sorts attached.
Nothing too amazing here: just a duck pond and some rabbits/aviary on display.
