Part 5/11:
Adjacent to Templo Mayor stands another monumental structure, the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Assumption. Built on the ruins of the Aztec temple, this cathedral serves as a vivid reminder of the Spanish conquest and its repercussions on indigenous cultures. The sacred site houses the remains of influential figures, blending colonial history with the native past as the archbishops laid to rest within mirror the ongoing narrative of cultural coexistence and conflict.
