  • Most of Mexicos national monuments are located

    cathedrals and statues to ancient temples and
    contemporary museums. Many of these commemorate
    important events in the countrys history and

    short on statues and monuments from those which
    honor past revolutionaries, to those paying
    homage to actors, singers and writers.

List of Monuments
  • Monumento a la Revolución
  • The most well-known and recognizable monument
    which calls Mexico City home is the Monumento a
    la Revolución. At 220 feet tall, the Monumento a
    la Revolución is the tallest triumphal arch in
    the world. And while many people admire it as
    they explore downtown Mexico City, not everyone
    realizes how much is going on inside this huge
    monument to the Mexican Revolution.

  • Palenque
  • Located in southern Mexico, the ruins of the
    Mayan city of Palenque date back to 100 BC
    although its name is recently modern coming from
    the village located close by. The ancient name of
    the city was Lakam Ha, meaning Big Water, as it
    has numerous springs and wide cascades. Palenque
    flourished in the 7th century with its decline
    and fall occurring around 800 AD.
