1. Presidencia Municipal / Palacio Municipal / City Hall Town Marker
La presidencia Municipal antes conocida como casa Municipal se encuentra en el jardín principal en el corazón del centro histórico del pueblo mágico. No se tiene documentada la fecha exacta de construcción, según algunas fuentes ésta inició en el siglo XVIII, mientras que una inscripción grabada en el Portal Morelos el cual se encuentra a un costado, apunta al año 1856. Pero existen documentos que indican que el edificio ya existía en los años 1852 y 1853.
Un número considerable de casas cercanas al templo y convento de San Pablo, pertenecieron a familias importantes o adineradas de Yuriria y Guanajuato, por lo cual tenían espacios amplios y bien organizados. Tal es el caso de la casa que hoy ocupa la Presidencia Municipal: que sobresale también por tener un diseño arquitectónico atractivo, que se sustenta sobre arco medio punto, techo de madera y tejamanil, columnas dóricas y piso de adoquín.
Adyacentes a la Presidencia Municipal se encuentran otros portales, también considerados sitios emblemáticos y de referencia social y cultural para los pobladores.

El portal Iturbide, anteriormente portal de la Santísima Trinidad, tiene arcos de medio punto con molduras de cantera, igual que la cornisa y los pilares que sostienen el entablamento.
