Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: A hum of mariachi and footsteps mixes with the scent of street tacos as crowds gather beneath an enormous flag that commands the open space. Hundreds of thousands can gather for major events, and archaeological remains under the square are displayed in a nearby museum so you can sense layers of the city's past.
Punti salienti: In the heart of the city a 1978 excavation pulled back the paving to reveal layers of the Aztec capital: shards of polychrome pottery, a carved jaguar relief, and foundation stones from a 14th-century palace that now lie just beneath the plaza's worn flagstones. At dusk a nightly military flag-lowering halts traffic and conversation, people fall silent as a lone bugle sounds and the air fills with the metallic tang of gunpowder and the flurry of hundreds of pigeons taking off from colonial rooftops.
Consigli da insider
- Wear comfortable shoes, cobblestones and long walks are common.
- Arrive before 9am for unobstructed photos of the cathedral and wide open space.
- Stand near the central flagpole for the evening lowering ceremony, arrive early to secure a spot.
- Keep valuables in a front pocket and avoid using phones openly in dense crowds.
