The National Palace is located to the east (decorated with murals by Diego Rivera). Next to the Palace you can see the ruins of the Big Temple (Templo Mayor) of the Aztec city Tenochtitlan.

It is believed that this temple is located on the exact spot where the Aztecs saw the symbol of the eagle with a snake and cactus (image that is included in the national flag): according to the Aztec legend, this was considered to be the center of the universe.

The Metropolitan Cathedral is located to the north.

It was built in the fifteenth century by the Spaniards and it is one of the most beautiful churches in Latin America.

The Headquarters of the City's Government are located across the Cathedral.

Many stores, museums, restaurants, and tourist attractions are located nearby the Zócalo, such as the Latin American Tower (its observatory offers stupendous panoramic views of the city) and the Fine Arts Palace(Palacio de Bellas Artes), which besides offering excellent concerts and art expositions, displays paintings from Tamayo, Siqueiros, Clemente Orozco, and Diego Rivera.
