The area is always alive with people and it's the center for parades, ceremonies and celebrations on holidays and other special events.

The ruins of the ancient Templo Mayor stand near the cathedral, while the eastern end of this prominent square holds the Palacio Nacional, home to the Federal Treasury and National Archives.
