Silverio Nunez was unable to continue his work because of the various military and political upheavals caused by the War of Reform, the work was continued by successive rulers, standing round a wall of limited height to which the inside is built a embancado of material, and was endowed in the corners and in the middle portions of the side gates of beautiful architectural works of architect D. Antonio Aldrete.
