After conquering the Aztecs, the Spanish destroyed the pyramids of Tenochtitlan and used the stones to build grand cathedrals 🏛️⛪.

In 1535, the Viceroyalty of New Spain was established here, making Mexico City the capital of Spain’s colonial empire in North America, Central America, and even Asia (the Philippines) 🌎🧭. 300 years of colonial rule completely resh Latin America’s destiny. Spaniards and Indigenous people moved from conflict to coexistence to fusion—today, 90% of Mexicans are of mixed Indigenous and European descent. For them, this history is dark yet complex.
