This theatre, built in 1918, has long been the most important cultural centre of the city, before the design of the Palace of Fine Arts.

Behind you stand the six columns of the façade belonging to the Legislative Palace of Donceles, seat of the Congress of Mexico City where the Chamber of Deputies is located.

Here you are in one of the busiest squares in the city! Here you will find mariachis playing music that attracts both Mexicans and visitors at all times of the day.

What would Mexico be without its must-have Tequila, the national drink? A little blander, certainly!

If there is one thing that cannot be missed when visiting Mexico, it is to talk about the different civilizations that have occupied the territory for millennia now.

The church of San Francisco comes straight from the 18th century: it was, at that time, one of the largest convents in New Spain, this large territory colonized by the Spanish from the 16th century.

It is impossible to miss Casa de los Azulejos, which, with its sumptuous Mudéjare architecture and vibrant color, stands out without difficulty from the other buildings of the Mexican capital!

You walk here on one of the historic streets of Mexico City! Historic because it has always been one of the busiest streets in the capital, but also because it bears the name of an inseparable figure in the history of Mexico: Francisco Madero.

You will have understood it when you see this monumental square, here you are in the heart of Mexico City, on what is called the Zocalo or the Constitution Square.

In 1571, the construction of this huge cathedral, the largest in Latin America, began.

This grand palace, which borders Constitution Square, has a charged history that begins in the 16th century, when Moctezuma II, ruler of the Aztec capital formerly called Tenochtitlan, decided to build his residence here in the heart of the city.

Here you are in front of a real vestige of one of the main monuments of the Tenochtitlan city, built by the Aztecs in the 14th century.
