Francisco I.

Francisco I. Madero Avenue in Mexico City’s historic center extends east from the Metropolitan Cathedral. The pedestrian street links the Zócalo area with the rest of the Centro Histórico and passes historic commercial buildings and landmarks. The cathedral, begun in the 16th century, is one of the city’s most important religious monuments.
