Free Tour of Mexico City's art and history sites and monuments

This is a guided tour of the most important monuments and sites in the history of Mexico City, the largest and most diverse city in the Americas. We'll explore the heart of the country and the most relevant faces and secrets in its formation: the pre-Hispanic era, the viceroyalty, the confiscation and dictatorship of the 20th century, and the construction of the contemporary city. We'll explore not only buildings but also historical sites, culinary culture, and architectural landmarks of the city.

On this walk we will discover:

• The ruins of the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan, the destroyed capital of the Aztec culture; the former viceregal palace; and the court life of the Spanish government: city government
• The Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico and the fascinating altarpiece of the kings: local religiosity
• The stone lion that marks one of the city's worst climate tragedies
• The Palace of the Marquises of Jaral de Berrio: Social History of Mexicans in Past Centuries
• The Jesuits' Profesa House and the first modern buildings in Mexico City
• The Palace of the Marquises of Orizaba, today the House of Tiles
