Mexico City is the capital and most important city of Mexico. It is also one of the 10 most populated cities in the world, behind Tokyo, Japan; Delhi, India; Shanghai, China; Dhaka, Bangladesh; São Paulo, Brazil; Cairo, Egypt; Mexico City, Mexico.

Mexico City has also been known since the 19th century as the City of Palaces, because in the first square of the city, in the Historic Center. 

Castillo de Chapultepc

There is the Palace of Fine Arts with one of the most important murals by Diego Rivera. ; Almost opposite is the Postal Palace with its interior in gold colors; In front of the Zócalo of the capital city is the National Palace, where the offices of the executive branch of Mexico are located. Below this building are the remains of Moctexuma’s residence; the Mining Palace; Municipal Palace, where the first city hall in Mexico was established; Palacio de Iturbide, the palace of the first emperor of Mexico; Palace of the School of Medicine. However, not only in this area are palaces and castles, since in the Santa María de la Ribera neighborhood we can find the Crystal Palace, in the Chapultepec Castle in the center of the Chapultepec urban forest; Lecumberri Palace in the Penitentiary neighborhood.

In recent years, archaeological investigations have been carried out that confirm DNA remains that are more than 12,700 years old. However, there are records of code pieces from the Olmec and Mexica cultures.

The Olmec culture was established in the vicinity of the Valley of Mexico between the 8th and 14th centuries.

The Mexica people, also known as the Aztec culture, settled in the lagoon area where they built the city of canals, the Great Tenochtitlán, which still maintains the remains of the Templo Mayor in the center of the city.

Legend has it that one of the tribes that left Aztlán, the Mexica, who worshiped Huitzilopochtli, in the Nahuatl language: Hummingbird Izquierdo, also known as the great God of war, had revealed to them in dreams that when they found an eagle devouring a snake on a cactus would be the sign that this was the place chosen for them. Before settling in the Tenochtitlán lagoon, the Mexicas traveled as a nomadic people in search of the sign that Huitzilopochtli had given them, crossing the area of ​​Lake Texcoco, among other surrounding regions.

Once the city of Tenochtitlán was founded, the Mexica extended the empire of the sun that extended to Central America with a duration of approximately one hundred years. Until the arrival of the Hispaniards.

Ciudad de México: La ciudad de los palacios

La Ciudad de México es la ciudad capital y la más importante de México. Es, también, una de las 10 ciudades más pobladas del mundo, detrás de Tokio, Japón; Delhi, India; Shanghái, China; Dhaka, Bangladesh; São Paulo, Brasil; El Cairo, Egipto; Ciudad de México, México. 

Castillo de Chapultepec

La Ciudad de México es también conocida desde el siglo XIX como la Ciudad de los Palacios, debido a que en el primer cuadro de la ciudad, en el Centro Histórico se encuentran el Palacio de Bellas Artes con uno de los más importantes murales de Diego Rivera; casi enfrente se encuentra el Palacio Postal con su interior en colores oro; frente del Zócalo de la ciudad capital se encuentra el Palacio Nacional, donde se encuentran las oficinas del poder ejecutivo de México, por debajo de este edificio se encuentran los restos de la residencia de Moctexuma; el Palacio de la Minería; Palacio Municipal, donde se instauró el primer ayuntamiento de México; Palacio de Iturbide, el palacio del primer emperador de México; Palacio de la Escuela de Medicina. Sin embargo, no sólo en esta zona se encuentran palacios y castillos, pues en la colonia Santa María de la Ribera podemos encontrar el Palacio de Cristal, en la   Castillo de Chapultepec al centro del Bosque urbano de Chapultepec; Palacio de Lecumberri en la colonia Penitenciaría.

Durante los últimos años se han llevado investigaciones arqueológicas que confirman restos de ADN de más de 12,700 años de antigüedad. Sin embargo, se tienen registros de códigos de piezas de las culturas Olmecas y Mexicas. 

La cultura Olmeca se estableció en las inmediaciones del Valle de México entre los siglos VIII y XIV. 

El pueblo Mexica, conocido también como cultura Azteca, se asentó en la zona de la laguna donde construyeron la ciudad de los canales, la Gran Tenochtitlán, la cual aún mantiene los restos del Templo Mayor en el centro de la ciudad.

Cuenta la leyenda que una de las tribus que salieron de Aztlán, los mexicas quienes adoraban a Huitzilopochtli, en lengua náhuatl: Colibrí Izquierdo, conocido también como el gran Dios de la guerra, les había revelado en sueños que cuando encontraran un águila devorando una serpiente sobre un nopal sería la señal de que ese era el lugar elegido para ellos. Antes de instalarse en la laguna de Tenochtitlán, los mexicas viajaban como pueblo nómada en busca de la señal que les había dado Huitzilopochtli, atravesando la zona del lago de Texcoco, entre otras regiones aledañas. 

Una vez fundada la ciudad de Tenochtitlán, los mexicas extendieron el imperio del sol que se extendió hasta Centroamérica con una duración de aproximadamente cien años. Hasta la llegada de los españoles.
