Chapultepec Castle

A building that has seen generations come and go, has endured the ramifications with dignity, and stands strong to this day to tell the tale.
It has always been a residence for the rulers of Mexico – Spanish Viceroys and Mexican Emperors. It was also, at different times during its history, a military academy, the presidential palace, an observatory, and, finally, has come to be used as a museum – it houses today the Museo Nacional de Historia (Museum of National History), which features a beautifully landscaped garden area, as well as the old observatory.
