Barrio Viejo/Libre

Bright colors add a touch of modern to these historical homes and buildings. The neighborhood is finally being restored and noticed for its history.

About this place:

Barrio Libre is Spanish for "free district" and was constructed between 1885 and 1900, within the city of Tucson, AZ. The dense rows of buildings and homes are made of adobe and remain architecturally unchanged. The territorial appearance and vibrant colors give the district a virtual timeless feel.
