Mexico, besides known for its population, traffic and Spanish lingo, has plenty of enchanting Mexico Sights to keep the tourists busy exploring this amazing country.

Museo del Templo Mayor:
Built in the 14th century, Templo Mayor is an Aztec temple dedicated to worship 2 gods namely, Tlaloc, the god of rain and agriculture and Huitzilopochtli, the god of war. During the Spanish invasion of Tenochtitlan, the temple was completely demolished. After the remnants of the temple were unearthed in 1978, the temple went through several reconstructions to get its present appearance. Templo Mayor is a massive stone pyramid with 2 broad staircases leading to the temples of the 2 gods. The adjacent museum showcases jewelry, masks, statues, tools and various artifacts that will give you an idea about the magnificence and glory of the Aztec Empire.

Metropolitan Cathedral:
The largest and oldest cathedral in whole of Latin America is the Metropolitan Cathedral. Constructed for about 3 centuries, the cathedral shows an amalgam of different styles namely, Gothic, Baroque, Mexican Churrigueresque, Renaissance and Neoclassic architecture. The cathedral is slowly sinking into the ground due to the soft clay beneath the structure. However, efforts are being made to stabilize the building. The cathedral features precious paintings of various artists including paintings by Juan Rodriguez and Cristobal de Villalpando. Occasionally, light and sound shows are arranged to take the visitors on a candlelight tour through the cathedral with choral music playing in the background.

Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe:
The gigantic structure of Basilica de Nuestra is one of the most visited attractions of Mexico City. There are 2 churches the old basilica and the modern basilica. The old basilica was built on the spot where Juan Diego had the vision of Virgin Mary appearing in front of him. As the old basilica was sinking into the ground due to the soft base beneath, it was closed for repair and the modern basilica was built just next to the old one. The modern basilica now preserves the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The circular structure of the new basilica makes it possible to view the image of Virgin Mary from any corner within the basilica. 

La Alameda:
Built in the 15th century, La Alameda is the oldest park in Mexico City. There were times when witches and convicts were burned alive at the stake here. In the 17th century Count Revillagigedo barred common people from visiting the park, keeping the rights of entrance limited to the noble people only. In present times the park with its cascading fountains and well-maintained gardens has plenty of shops selling handicrafts, newspapers and souvenirs and an array of food kiosks line the exterior. During the weekends, special events and programs are held in the park to amuse the visitors. The police patrolling the park are usually clad in cowboy outfits.
