"It's free to go inside and view this famous cathedral which was built on top of the Aztec Temple that was the center of Tenochtitlan. Cortes deconstructed the temple and used the stones to build the cathedral (quite the symbol for colonization...). It took 200 years to build, and the architecture is stunning. "
Fernanda Cortina
"One of the most important religious buildings in Mexico. It was built over the course of three centuries, beginning in the 16th century. The cathedral is an impressive example of Spanish Colonial architecture and is renowned for its ornate interior"
"Large Roman Catholic church at the north end of El Zócalo. Hours: 8am - 8 pm Cost: - Free for regular entrance - For a small fee, you can purchase a tour to climb the bell towers to enjoy the spectacular view from the top."
