It is the "palace of the corruption". It is the summer house that the former police chief of Mexico city, Arturo Durazo Moreno, ordered to build in Zihuatanejo in the 70's. He escaped Mexico in 1982(?), captured in 1984 and died in 2000. Based on the history, he organized orgies and parties in this house. Currently, the goverment or relativies do not want to take responsability of the house.

@skianddie Used to be the sumer house of the "Negro Durazo", who was the Mexico's City police chief between 1976-1982; he's a dark figure in mexico's history, many people was tortured, missed or killed in the name of National security (in fact any one who don't agree whit the corrupt goberment).

All the money nedded to built "El partenón de Zihuatanejo" came from ilegal business (like drugs dilers)
