National Palace (Palacio Nacional)

The National Palace, or Palacio Nacional, stands as a historic and functional cornerstone in the heart of Mexico City, serving as the seat of the Mexican federal government since the time of the Aztecs. This grand structure, with its imposing architecture, houses numerous government offices, many of which are not open to the public. However, visitors can still immerse themselves in the palace’s rich cultural offerings, particularly Diego Rivera’s renowned panoramic mural, The History of Mexico, which vividly depicts the country’s complex and fascinating history.
