STONE OF THE SUN |
 |
| "The one sculpture which identifies the Mexicans above all others is the Stone of the Sun, discovered in December, 1790, in the Plaza Mayor of the capital of New Spain. Because of its symbolic content, with the names of the days and the cosmogonic suns, it was incorrectly identified as the Aztec Calendar." |
Chapultepec Park is the largest city park in Latin America
The park area has been inhabited and held as special since the pre-Hispanic period, when it became a retreat for Aztec rulers.
