With over 2,000 years of age, Mexico City is the capital of one of the most fascinating countries in the world and is part of the cultural heritage of mankind.

Before becoming the capital of New Spain and then Mexico, Cuiculco (destroyed by two volcanic eruptions to the Ier and centuries) was an urban and ceremonial center dominated by Teotihuacán, and the Triple Alliance dominated by Tenochtitlán was to become the center of the Azazan empire. tec. It is also a mixed city, born in pain, fruit of the juxtaposition of two distinct cultures: one based on a purely indigenous world design, the other on eurocentrism.

This city was then built in the middle of a lake. Splendid, it will be called Athens of America for the refinement of its civilization.
