Sightseeing
This fascinating plaza -- a wonderful slice of Mexican life -- has arcades on one side, a Dominican church on another. A statue of the Corregidora of Querétaro, Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, dominates the plaza. The plaza is best known for the scribes who compose and type letters for clients unable to do so. Years ago, it was full of professional writers clacking away on typewriters, and a few still ply their trade on ancient electric typewriters among a proliferation of small print shops and presses. Emperor Cuauhtémoc's palace once occupied this land, before Dominicans built their monastery here.

The Zócalo is Mexico City’s main square, also referred to as La Plaza de la Constitución. This square is of a monstrous size, boasting an area of 57,600 square meters and has its place among the largest squares on earth. Not only is this square so spectacular for its immensity, but it is also a place of much historic importance, for this was Tenochtitlan’s main ceremonial center. Nowadays, however, it is one of the main tourist attractions in Mexico City and sees spontaneous shows of Aztec dancing and music.
