    <triplocations name="National Museum of Anthropology" description="In the northern part of the Chapultepec Park is one of the most remarkable museums in the world. The giant monolith at the entrance was generally accepted to be the rain god Tláloc. According to newer theories however, the statue probably represents Chalchiuhtlicue, the sister of Tláloc and goddess of the waters of the earth. The monolith weighs 167 tons. Found near San Miguel Coatlinchán in the area of Texcoco, transporting the unfinished colossus was very difficult. The museum was built in the 1960s and was designed by the architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez. The building conveys harmony and impresses with its generous proportions. The presentation of the museum’s extraordinary exhibits is also remarkable. Of particular note is the construction of architect José Chávez Morado’s inner courtyard: an enormous stone shield on an 11m/36ft column provides shade for part of the area, and a screen of water falls from this shield and seeps into the ground as a symbol of the life-giving force of water. In both design and content, the museum is separated into two clearly defined areas: on the ground floor, visitors find an introduction to anthropology and finds from past Indian cultures, while the upper level exhibits tell about the lifestyles of the existing Indian cultures in Mexico. In the museum lobby, visitors find a good collection of books, museum guides and catalogues in several languages, as well as reproductions of pre-Columbian art. Video shows in the centre of the introductory exhibition room (Sala de Resumen) elucidate the content of the collections. On the right, a mural by Rufino Tamayo catches the eye. It shows the plumed serpent and the jaguar as incarnations of ancient Indian gods. Here, visitors pay admission and buy tickets for guided tours. The round tour through the museum, (anti-clockwise) also starts at the ticket counter. First stops on this circuit are the exhibition halls with alternating collections of artefacts from pre-Columbian cultures. Visitors who are pressed for time should at least see the Méxica and Maya exhibitions. However, please keep in mind that each exhibition hall features at least one highlight.

    <triplocations name="Chapultepec Park (Grasshopper Hill Park)" description="With about 4 sq km/1.5 sq mi it is also the largest park in Mexico City. Chapultepec was once a Toltec castle, where the last Toltec ruler Huémac is said to have hanged himself in 1177 after fleeing from Tula. In 1299, the Méxica (Aztec) ended a long period of migration by settling around the hill. Neighbouring tribes however chased them away only 20 years later. The poet-king Netzahualcóyotl (also known as the philosopher king) reputedly first created this park in the first half of the 15th century. As the power of the temple city of Tenochtitlán grew, the hill became the summer residence of the Aztec rulers. Via an aqueduct, springs from the hill provided water for the city; ruins of the aqueduct still stand in Avenida Chapultepec in the block between Calle Praga and Calle Warsovia. Portraits of the Méxica rulers were sculpted into the eastern slope of the hill; fragments of these sculptures still exist. 
The park is full of old trees. The most impressive are the giant cedars and Montezuma cypresses (Ahuehuete in Nahuatl). Lakes, sport facilities, a beautiful botanical garden, a zoo, several museums and Chapultepec Castle attract many visitors. Mexico City residents in particular like to come here to hike, ride on horseback, have a picnic or enjoy the many events, such as concerts, plays, children’s programs and other entertainment.

    <triplocations name="Basílica de Guadalupe" description="Two churches are named after Guadelupe: one is the old Basilica of Our Lady of Guadelupe (Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe), built in 1709 to replace a 16th-century shrine and subsequently remodelled several times; the other is the new basilica in a gigantic building which contains the cape with the effigy of the Holy Virgin.  The cult has its roots in a legend. On 9 December 1531, the baptized Aztec Juan Diego had a vision of the holy Virgin as a dark-skinned Indian woman. In the vision, the Virgin told him to go to the bishop and have him build a chapel for her in a certain place. Bishop Juan de Zumárraga did not believe the report and demanded evidence. Sure enough, the Virgin appeared to the Indian a second time on 12 December and made roses bloom on a hill in the midst of the dry season. Juan Diego picked the roses and brought them to the bishop wrapped in his cape. When he opened the cape with the roses it showed the image of the Virgin in a corona of light. Many catholics believe that this is the miraculous image of the Virgin of Guadalupe which now hangs in the new basilica. In 1531, the bishop had a shrine built on the hill Tepeyac, exactly at the location where an Aztec temple used to stand; the church and the image in it quickly became the destination for many pilgrims. Especially in view of the brutal colonial regime, Indians had been reluctant to become catholic. Now, converting them became much easier. Over centuries, the Virgin of Guadalupe was revered as the patron of the Indians and Mestizos. Later, the Mexican independence movement also laid claim to her. In 1810, the priest and freedom fighter Miguel Hidalgo went to fight under her banner. 
Throughout the year, tens of thousands of pilgrims visit the basilica. On 12 December however, the anniversary of the second apparition of the Virgin Mary, the church and the plaza in front of it are crowded with countless worshippers. Dancers and pantomime artists in colourful garb perform, giving the celebration the character of a large folk festival. The faith in Our Lady of Guadalupe has taken hold in all parts of Mexican society and the faithful from other parts of Latin America come here as pilgrims. This type of popular faith is called the Guadalupe cult; clearly, many of its elements do not fit catholic dogma and are often reminiscent of pre-Christian myths.

    <triplocations name="Palacio Nacional" description="The palace was built in 1523 from tezontle (blood stone), a brownish-red volcanic stone. Cortés had the building foundation put on top of the levelled new palace of Montezuma II. The National Palace is one of the oldest and most impressive buildings in Mexico City. Currently, it serves as the office of the president and contains many administrative offices; in colonial times, it was the domicile of the Spanish viceroy and later it became the office of the presidents of the republic. The palace was rebuilt and enlarged several times throughout its history and then, during the insurgency of 1692, it was partially destroyed. President Calles added the third floor during his term in office in the 1920s. The Freedom Bell (Campana de Dolores) occupies its place above the central portal and underneath the Mexican coat of arms. The priest Miguel Hidalgo rang this bell on 16 September 1810 in Dolores when he called the independence movement to action. Every year on 15 September, one hour before midnight, the Mexican president repeats Hidalgo’s Grito de Dolores (cry of Dolores) from the balcony of the National Palace while the freedom bell rings. The inside of the palace consists of 14 courtyards and a large number of halls. 

Visitors can now walk through the rooms off the northern inner courtyard that were once the living quarters of Benito Juárez. Furniture and personal items in the room where Juárez died in 1872 commemorate the great president. Visitors can also see some of the halls and the chamber of deputies in which the reform constitution was adopted in 1857. The constitution of 1917 and the reform constitution are on display. The National Palace also houses the main national archive with interesting historic documents and the Biblioteca Miguel Lerdo de Tejada, one of Mexico’s largest and most important libraries.
