Mexico City

Among the cities of the Mexico City region, Mexico City stands out for its vast historic core built on the site of the Mexica capital, Tenochtitlan. At the Zócalo, the Metropolitan Cathedral and National Palace face one of the world’s largest public squares, while the nearby Templo Mayor preserves excavated remains of the pre-Hispanic ceremonial centre. The city spreads across the Basin of Mexico, where Lake Texcoco once dominated the valley floor. Diego Rivera’s murals in the National Palace add a major visual account of Mexican history to this civic heart.
