This plaza is a vortex of history it would seem. Here you can see the Cathedral of Santiago across the marketplace ruins of Tlatelolco.

The modern apartment buildings in the far background have been rebuilt and reinforced after the tragic Mexico City earthquake.

The ruins of the markplace are surrounded by modern buildings.

The cathedral itself is in disrepair but still in use.

Mexico City is very green in March.

The tour group (looking essentially like Americans) with guide (in really warm looking tweed jacket...).

An interesting perspective...

The essential door photo of the Cathedral of Santiago.

Shrine to the Madonna inside the cathedral.

Joan Diego, whose story involves roses...
