This is the largest catholic church in the Americas. It is singularly impressive due to its sheer size. The entry is free and you may wonder about the church except in the main nave where the faithful do pray and celebrate mass. There are several interesting chapels and you may climb to the roof to admire the Zocalo from its vantage point. If you look carefully you will notice that the church is in need of some repairs as the stucco work is coming off in places and cracking in others. Interesting tradition is that the church bells will start ringing 15 minutes before mass, at noon for instance, and they will ring for the entire 15 minutes until noon, to let the believers know to come and pray.

There was quite a bit of construction going on. The building was build on top of ancient Tenochtitlan buildings but have been sinking into the stilt. A lot of engineering going on to prevent the building from toppling over. The cathedral was built in sections from 1573 to 1813[3] around the original church that was constructed soon after the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan, eventually replacing it entirely. Spanish architect Claudio de Arciniega planned the construction, drawing inspiration from Gothic cathedrals in Spain. One can spend hours roaming in the cathedral and appreciating the exquisite work. Also felt a little sad about all history the Spaniards destroyed to build their own.
