"The Zocalo has suffered many changes throughout its history, as the buildings around it have been demolished or remodeled several times, the plaza has had green areas, monuments, fountains and even a market, “El Parián”, that during the Viceroyship functioned in the southeast corner of the plaza and where it was possible to find fabric, silverware and clothes, among other merchandise from China’s Nao, a fleet of galleons which sailed from Acapulco to the East to bring all kinds of exotic objects to supply the Hispanic and European market.

Apart from being the seat of the political, economical and religious powers in Mexico, as well as a space where the indigenous and viceroyal past come together with more than 4 centuries of history, it’s also a rallying point in which the people of Mexico come together to celebrate parties or participate in manifestations. It’s the place in which Mexicans take part in history; in pre-Hispanic times with the rites and religious Aztec ceremonies; in the Viceroyship with the proclamations of Kings and Viceroys and in the time of Independence with the celebrations of Independence Day, the welcoming of governors, protests or cultural events. Mexico City’s Zocalo is the heart of a culture and every beat a day in its history."
