In evidenza

If you’re interested in discovering the artistic essence of Mexico, step with me into a guided journey where architecture, history, and social transformation intertwine. I’m Edgar, certified local guide and I invite you to explore Mexico’s own Gilded Age: the Porfiriato. Together, we’ll walk through opulent mansions, grand palaces, and emblematic landmarks that still preserve the elegance, European eclecticism, and ambition of a dictator. We’ll revisit the final years of a 19th-century regime built on progress and inequality, and trace how those tensions gave rise to a new artistic and architectural identity and helped ignite one of the most influential artistic movements of the 20th century: Mexican Muralism. This is more than a historical walk — it is a journey to understand the aesthetic transformation of Mexico in the 20th century: from dictatorship to cultural renaissance.

About Città del Messico

Città del Messico è una vasta capitale d'alta quota costruita sull'azteca Tenochtitlan, ricca di musei, murales, mercati e cucina eccezionale.

Lo Zócalo, una delle piazze più grandi del mondo, è incorniciato dalla Cattedrale Metropolitana e dal Palazzo Nazionale, dove i murales di Diego Rivera raccontano la storia del Messico. Accanto, il Templo Mayor portato alla luce rivela il cuore della capitale azteca, e il Palacio de Bellas Artes, con l'esterno di marmo e l'interno Art Déco, sorge a breve distanza verso ovest.

Top-ranked sights in Città del Messico: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
