2 landmarks in Tlalpan Centro with verified facts and stories most people walk right past.
Metropolitan Cathedral
Plaza de La Constitución, Tlalpan Centro, Tlalpan, 14000, Mexico
The Metropolitan Cathedral is the largest and oldest cathedral in Latin America — a massive structure built on the ruins of an Aztec temple over a period of 250 years (1573-1813), which means it contains every architectural style that swept through Mexico during those centuries: Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, and Churrigueresque all live under one roof, and the result is less a coherent building than a timeline of Mexican religious architecture.
Palacio Nacional
Plaza de La Constitución, Tlalpan Centro, Tlalpan, 14000, Mexico
The Palacio Nacional occupies the entire east side of the Zócalo — a 200-metre-long colonial building that sits on the site of Moctezuma's palace, was the seat of the Spanish viceroys for 300 years, and now houses the offices of the President of Mexico.
