The crowning glory of the Historic Center of Mexico City is the enormous Cathedral of the Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary into Heavens. The stone monument dominates the border of the huge Plaza del Zócalo. While its full name is “Cathedral of the Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary into Heavens” it also goes by the much shorter nickname “Metropolitan Cathedral” or “Mexico City Cathedral.” The enormous church has stood here for over 400 years, but this site was once of great importance to the Aztec people long before that. Walking on the stones here gives you a deep sense that you are stepping into an area of great cultural significance. With a history spanning thousands of years.
The towering ornate church is considered one of the masterpieces of Mexican architecture and is Latin America’s largest and oldest cathedral. If you’re visiting Mexico City you absolutely need to make a stop inside! Explore the interiors and wonder at the amazing monuments, chapels, architecture and incredible atmosphere found inside the Mexico City Cathedral. This guide is the best way to tour it for yourself at your own pace. It will lead you from the exterior courtyard, inner nave, altars and chapels and finally finished at the adjacent Sagrario Metropolitano.
