Mexico City Architecture in 2018
A view down Francisco I. Madero Avenue from the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City's historic center. This thoroughfare, a major artery in the city's downtown, is lined with colonial-era buildings and leads towards the east. The Metropolitan Cathedral, a significant religious and architectural landmark, was constructed over centuries, with its origins dating back to the 16th century. The avenue itself has been a central part of the city's urban fabric for centuries, facilitating commerce and public life.
