Itinerary
The National Museum of History is the enclosure that keeps the memory of the history of Mexico, from the conquest of Tenochtitlan to the Mexican Revolution. Its rooms show a diversity of representative objects from four centuries of the history of Mexico.
Home to historic monuments dating back to Aztec times, the Centro Histórico is the heart of the city. Located around the massive El Zócalo square, the area draws tourists to iconic buildings such as the art nouveau Palacio de Bellas Artes and the Metropolitan Cathedral, Madero Street, View of the Post Office, and some important buildings.
Built on the ruins of the New Houses of Moctezuma Xocoyotzin, the National Palace has been the seat of power and sovereignty of the Mexican people since the 16th century. Within its walls, great figures of national history have inhabited and worked, from viceroys, emperors and presidents, such as the famous Count of Revillagigedo, Agustín de Iturbide, Benito Juárez and Porfirio Díaz, to important figures of universal literature, such as Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. This venue has not only been the heart, but also a faithful witness and participant in the future of our country.
The Postal Palace is also known as La Quinta Casa de Correos, since the institution previously occupied four buildings located on Del Parque, Santa Teresa, San Francisco and Moneda streets, in the center of Mexico City. The styles agreed for the construction of the building were Plateresque and Elizabethan and it is due to the combination of both, that the style is considered eclectic.
La catedral metropolitana es uno de los templos más importantes de América, sus majestuosas proporciones la convierten en una obra maestra. Enmarca el costado norte del Zócalo Capitalino y es el monumento más representativo del Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México
