Mexico City The Federal District of the City of Mexico is the capital of the Mexican Republic and has a population of more than 20 million. Mexico City, the ancient capital of the Aztecs, represents a microcosm of Latin America from pre-Hispanic times to the present from ancient pyramids to colonial and palaces to contemporary architecture. The city is full of museums and art galleries showing the work of Mexican and international artists, plazas with outdoors entertainment, street fairs, theatre, night clubs, and markets of artesanias. |
