The Plaza de la Constitución, commonly known as the Zócalo, is the beating heart of Mexico City’s Historic Center.
Surrounded by landmarks like the Palacio Nacional, the seat of Mexico’s presidency, this vast square spans nearly 46,800 square meters.
Named after the 1812 Constitution of Cádiz, it has been a hub for historical events and public gatherings for centuries. Since 2024, it has become fully pedestrianized, making it an inviting space for visitors to explore on foot.
