Overview

We will visit the most important buildings and places that define the History and Architecture of Downtown Mexico City, which, until the late XIXth Century, used to be the entire town.

It sounds crazy but, in the same district. we will find such different buildings of many eras and styles: mexica, barroco novohispano, neoclassicism, eclecticism/porfiriano, art nouveau, art déco/streamline and, of course, the muralist movement, that merged architecture and painting together.

We might bump into some characters like griffins, gargoyles, serpents, snakes, eagles and even mermaids who have lots of things to say about what Mexico City is.
