Palacio Nacional: Three Layers of Power
- Three Civilizations Deep: Walk eight stops across the most layered square kilometre in the Western Hemisphere. Every building sits directly on top of the one that came before it. Aztec, Spanish, Mexican, stacked vertically, still arguing.
- Earthquake, Exile, Reinvention: Walk seven stops from a circus owner's European fantasy to an Art Deco tower that refused to fall. Every block in Roma and Condesa was rebuilt by someone who was never supposed to be here.
- Where Mexico Began: Walk seven stops from the oldest church in continental America to a market that has served tostadas since 1956. The first capital of New Spain, the refuge of communists, artists, and assassins.
