Casa de Pancho Villa

The Casa de Pancho Villa is a historic house museum and the birthplace of Mexican Revolution leader Pancho Villa. It is located in the hamlet of La Coyotada, near the municipal seat of San Juan del Río, Durango. Located near the banks of the Río San Juan, the house is a notable example of popular architecture of the Porfiriato era.
