EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic beauty and vibrant energy of Mexico City's iconic Main Square, or Zocalo, in the early 20th century. Situated in the heart of the historic center, the Zocalo was once known as the Main Square or Arms Square, and today it bears the formal name of Constitution Square (Plaza de la Constitucion). In this image, we gaze upon the Old Portal de Mercaderes on the western side of the square. The Old Portal de Mercaderes, a stunning architectural marvel, is a remnant of Mexico City's colonial past. Its ornate stone arches and intricate carvings showcase the rich history and cultural heritage of Mexico. The portal once served as the entrance to the city's main marketplace, where merchants from all corners of the world would gather to trade their goods. The National Palace, Mexico City's official presidential residence and seat of power, can be seen in the background. The beautiful building, adorned with intricate murals by Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, stands proudly as a symbol of Mexico's national identity. The bustling energy of the square is palpable in this photograph. People from all walks of life gather here to celebrate, to protest, and to connect with one another. The Zocalo remains the heart of Mexico City, a place where history, culture, and community intertwine. This photograph, taken circa 1905, is a testament to the enduring spirit of Mexico City and its historic center. It invites us to explore the rich history and vibrant culture that can be found in this remarkable city.
