The mural "History of Mexico" in the stairwell of the National Palace in Mexico City was created by Diego Rivera (husband of Frida Kahlo) between 1929 and 1935. The theme of the mural is Mexico's history from ancient times to the present day. It depicts the many struggles of the ordinary Mexican people against the Spanish, the French, and the dictators who controlled the country at various times in its history. In this fresco, many famous characters can be recognized such as Fernando Cortez, General Saint Ana, Emiliano Zapato Salazar and many others.

Chapultepec Castle is a splendid late 18th-century building (1785-1787) designed as a holiday home by order of the Viceroy of New Spain, Bernardo de Gálvez. Over time, however, the building has been modified several times to accommodate its various uses.

The National Palace is the seat of the federal executive of Mexico. Since 2018, it has also served as the official residence of the President of Mexico. It is located in Plaza de la Constitución. This site has been a palace for Mexico's ruling class since the Aztec Empire, and much of the building materials of the current palace come from the original one that belonged to Moctezuma II.
