Architecture and History of Mexico City – Small Groups

We will visit the most important buildings and places that define the History and Architecture of Downtown Mexico City, which, until the late XIXth Century, used to be the entire town.

It sounds crazy but, in the same district. we will find such different buildings of many eras and styles: mexica, barroco novohispano, neoclassicism, eclecticism/porfiriano, art nouveau, art déco/streamline and, of course, the muralist movement, that merged architecture and painting together.

We might bump into some characters like griffins, gargoyles, serpents, snakes, eagles and even mermaids who have lots of things to say about what Mexico City is.

This corner shows us how Mexico City has evolved throughout its history and its an awesome spot to see all the layers of architecture and stories this walk has to offer.

This building tells us about the constructive materials of Mexico City and some of the most important historical processes that made Mexico what it is today.

We are going to see a very interesting piece of art in this building, we are going to use its balconies to see other buildings, and we are going to explore it’s evolution through almost 300 years.

We are going to discuss the historical, political and artistic contexts in which this building and its neighbors were created.

Beautiful post office from the beginning of the XXth Century. We are visiting the inside depending on the time of the day.

We are going to explore the eclectic architecture of the city through the different buildings surrounding the statue of Charles the IV of Spain.

Before finishing our walk, we are going to visit an archeological site right in the center of the city.

Here we are going to wrap all the stories up, and I can answers questions and make recommendations for the rest of your trip, or next time you visit the city.
