Aptly named, this iron building was shipped in pieces from Belgium during the Porfiriato era. The Art Nouveau building was designed by Gustave Eiffel (yes, that Eiffel) and built from 1891 to 1894. Located inside is the tourism information center, so this is a good place to start your visit. Also located here are a Planetarium, science exhibition, museum of beer, and museum of soccer all free of charge.

Catedral de San Miguel Arcángel
Important historical monument of the city of neoclassical style, dates from the 17th century with chapels and tower built in different historical moments of the city. An authentic Swiss clock stands out on the tower.
This large complex contains several museum exhibitions, a digital library, lots of eateries, and a large park-like grounds. The exhibits close at 19:00, but the rest is open until 22:00. At night the fountain is lit up nicely. This is one of the highlights of Orizaba.
