More information on Plaza de las Tres Culturas

The name of this plaza is derived from the fusion of Mexico's three main cultural epochs: pre-Hispanic, colonial and present-day, and it offers elements taken from all three historical periods. The first is represented by the ruins of an Aztec ceremonial site; the second by the Santiago Tlatelolco Church, built in 1609, as well as the Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco College built in 1535; and finally, the modern age is personified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, constructed in 1970.
