The nerve center of Mexico City is, without a doubt, the Zócalo. This immense square and the surrounding streets, now pedestrianized, are the site where Tenochtitlan was born and the epicenter of numerous cultural, social, political and artistic events. The majestic flag stands in the center, and around the square are emblematic buildings that have marked a milestone in the history of the city since the 14th century: to the east is the National Palace; to the north, the Cathedral; between them, the Templo Mayor; to the south, the City Hall Palace, today the seat of the government of Mexico City, and to the west, a series of private buildings, including the Mercaderes and the Monte de Piedad. Walking here not only fills the hearts of all Mexicans with pride; it is also a reminder of our history and an opportunity to admire in each of its monuments the beauty of what is considered one of the most beautiful squares in the world.
