The Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City probably represents the greatest work of colonial architecture in all of the Americas. Built in the current Plaza de la Constitucion (known by Mexicans as the Zocalo), the Cathedral (Metro) of Mexico City is the largest Christian cathedral in Latin America, and one of the symbolic places of Christianity in the world. The first stone was laid in 1524 by Hernàn Cortes, in a place of great symbolic significance: at the center of the streets which, from the four cardinal points, formed the center of the old Aztec capital, using in its construction the stones which previously belonged to the Templo Mayor of Great Tenochtitlan, before its destruction.
