It was constructed in the Spanish Baroque style of architecture and includes a pair of 64-meter neoclassical towers which hold 18 bells.</p> <p>It is located on Mexico City's central square, the Zócalo (officially Constitution Square).</p> <p>After the Spanish conquest of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, Hernan Cortes began the construction of a Catholic church. This church was demolished circa 1573 and a new cathedral was built on the same place. A side chapel, the Sagrario Metropolitano (1749-69), is the greatest triumph of the Mexican Churrigueresque style. The new cathedral was consecrated in 1667, but the final elements — bell towers and central dome designed by the Spanish neoclassical architect Manuel Tolsa — were finished in 1813.</p> <p>The soft clay subsoil beneath Mexico City, which was originally built on a lake bed, and the removal of water from the soil has caused the sinking of many of the buildings in Mexico City's historic centre. Underground tunnels to stabilize the cathedral have prevented its collapse and have stabilized the uneven inclination of its sinking.</i></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0px;">I took this pic from the roof of the <i>Hotel Majestic</i> where Stregoika and I had a coffee.</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/PetWerewolf/">PetWerewolf</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/PetWerewolf/photo/2149660 Thu, 28 Jun 2007 18:05:00 GMT https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/photo/2124306 <p><a href="https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/photo/2124306"><img src="https://www.23hq.com/1192275/2124306_4478d395040b8d21a62262bc3fcb2c98_standard.jpg" width="345" height="460" class="23-standard"/></a></p><p>Both the landscape and the archaeological site are very impressive. The temples date to Aztec times and their construction hadn't been completed yet at the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores.<br /> The main temple, of which you can see the interior in this picture, and the platform it is on are a monolithic structure that was cut out of the solid bedrock.<br /> The entrance is decorated in low relief to make it appear like the mouth of a snake through which you enter the temple, walking over its tongue.<br /> The shapes of the seats make it likely that the temple (and probably the whole complex) was used for ceremonial activities related to the Aztec eagle and jaguar warrior orders.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0px;">We travelled to Malinalco from Toluca by taking the bus to Chalma and a taxi from there to Malinalco, but a much faster way is to take a taxi from Toluca to Tenancingo and another taxi from there to Malinalco.</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/">Stregoika</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/photo/2124306 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:57:57 GMT https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/photo/2124299 <p><a href="https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/photo/2124299"><img src="https://www.23hq.com/1192286/2124299_4af5fb73d9eac15e975a73b55d2e9184_standard.jpg" width="345" height="460" class="23-standard"/></a></p><p>Peeking through a small barred window in a door to a tower that belonged to a colonial convent in Tlaxcala, PetWerewolf and me saw this mysterious view.

Inside the church found there, you can walk to this octagonal room, the Camarín, which ranks as one of the finest examples of Mexican High Baroque art. The hand of Indigenous artists can be detected in the shapes and composition of the retablos and of the ceiling. The figures of the archangels and the black oxidised representations in silver are remarkable. The early ribbed vaulting in the Camarín shows Mudéjar influence. The light entering through the alabaster windows contributes to the magnificent overall impression.</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/">Stregoika</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/photo/2124278 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:49:21 GMT https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/photo/2124241 <p><a href="https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/photo/2124241"><img src="https://www.23hq.com/1192286/2124241_39ad5d67420fadb64e6b85a19f8614d1_standard.jpg" width="345" height="460" class="23-standard"/></a></p><p>Three Cultures Archaeological site in Mexico City.
