Arquitectura en Ciudad de México

Architectural Highlights

Mexico City's skyline spans centuries of design, from the white marble and Art Nouveau interiors of the Palacio de Bellas Artes to the futuristic, anvil-shaped Soumaya Museum. This collection highlights the volcanic stone architecture of Diego Rivera’s Anahuacalli Museum and the hanging bookshelves of the industrial-style José Vasconcelos Library. Commemorative structures like the Art Deco Monument to the Revolution and the Neo-Mayan Mexico City Temple further showcase the city's blend of historical tribute and bold, modern engineering.
