The former Temple of San Agustín, dating from 1576, now serves as a public library of the National Library Network. It houses the spectacular 14 x 12.7 m mural by Juan O'Gorman, completed in 1942. The mural narrates the history of Michoacán through four sections: creation according to the Purépecha; indigenous life before the Conquest; the arrival of the Spanish; and moments of life during the Colonial period.
