Mexico City Cathedral
Mexico Cathedral is the largest and most important Catholic church in Mexico. It is located on the north side of Constitution Square in downtown Mexico City. It was officially completed after it was built in 1573 and 1823, which lasted for 250 years. Mexico Cathedral is a baroque building made of black basalt. Its stone wall is very thick and reinforced with thick chains to increase the seismic strength. The church is a traditional Latin cross layout with a central hall and two side halls. The nave is a vertical rectangle with a length of 1 10 m from north to south and a width of 55 m from east to west. The great altar in the depths of the nave has a typical circular vault in the Renaissance. There are many gorgeous arches and various relief paintings on the vault. There are many small altars and seven small churches in the side hall across the middle hall. Some of these churches were built by later artists. The Royal Altar, also known as the Royal Chapel, is the most beautiful building in the whole church. It is modeled after the Royal Altar of Seville Cathedral in Spain. Its decoration is extremely exquisite, and it is a treasure in architectural art. The dome at the top of the altar is inlaid with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and precious and gorgeous sculptures, and the semi-circular niche is covered with exquisite and complicated sculptures.
Chapultepec Park
Tepec Park in chapple is located in the west of Mexico City, with lush trees, flowers and plants everywhere, rippling lakes and beautiful scenery. It is known as the "plant lung" that regulates and purifies the air in Mexico City. "chapple Tepeck" means "grasshopper" in Aztec, which refers to the shape of a hill in the park. As early as the 6th century AD, many trees were planted here, which became the place where Aztec king Mockett Suma played and hunted. During the Spanish colonial rule, this mountain was designated as a restricted area. The Spanish governor built a summer palace here, named "Chapultepec Castle", overlooking Mexico City. 1944, the Mexican government turned this place into a park.
