In this thread I have been thinking of collecting some of the fotos from My Mexico city trips. I have been there several times and its one of my favorite cities. 🙂
Like all big cities there are positive and negative things. I will do my best to show Mexico city here in the best possible way. All of the pictures are taken by myself with my Sony Ericsson mobilphone. So dont expect ultra high quality pictures.
I will start with pictures in the historic center of the city and then slowly circle around further out.
So enjoy….. 🙂
First up is Zocalo square. Located on top of what used to be the ancient city of Tenochtitlan.
At the moment on this picture there was alot of christmas festivities going on.
And on this foto from last year you can see the zocalo square with thousands of people standing in line to enter what I believe was a temporary museum.
The square and cathedral.
Parts of the cathedral. Beautiful on the inside and outside.
One more with the cathedral.
The national palace next to the Zocalo square is huge. This is the south fasade of the palace complex.
Inside the national palace
The historic center is a very colorful and lively place.
On car free days, people takes over the streets.
The historic center is also a place to find statues like this.
Like mentioned earlier. The historic center of Mexico city is built on top of what used to be Tenochtitlan. Some remains are still here. Like the ruins of Templo mayor.
Here its possible to see architecture from to compleate different eras and two different civilizations.
I recommend the Templo Mayor museum that is located right next to the ruins. There you can see objects archeologists have found at the Templo Mayor. Also a big model of what the city once looked like.
Lovely architecture is to be find everywhere in this part of the city.
That´s it for now. More is coming very soon. 🙂
