Today, we're going to visit the Frida Kahlo House. It is better known as La Casa Azul, the Blue House, because of its cobalt-blue walls. It is located in the Colonia del Carmen neighborhood of the Coyoacan district of Ciudad de Mexico. Originally, this was her parents house. Frida was born in the house in 1907 and also died
there in 1954....
