Together with myriad roads and highways, Mexico’s political, economic and cultural powers converge in its crowded capital. Swathes of public infrastructure are interwoven with spectres of ancient Aztec and Spanish colonial grandeur, manifested in and around Zócalo’s expansive courtyard. Framed by mountainous landscapes, ornamented with stunning sights including Palacio de Bellas Artes and other monuments and basilicas, Mexico City is heavy with a country’s weight but determined to hold fast.
