The call Alhondiga interprets kind of from both Arabic and Spanish as grain marketplace or warehouse. It is equivalent to the nearby grain exchange. Its construction lasted from 1798 to 1809, via orders of Juan Antonio de Riano y Barcena, a Spaniard who became the quartermaster of the city throughout the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla helped build it. The constructing received World Heritage listing as part of the Historic Town of Guanajuato in 1988.

There were about 300 loyalists who took refuge from 20,000 rebels led through Hidalgo.
