MEXICO: MEXICO CITY: METROPOLITAN CATHEDRAL RESCUED FROM SINKING

Spanish/Nat

Mexico City Metropolitan cathedral, the largest church in the Americas, is finally being set straight after years of sinking into moist clay.

The imposing church dominates the city's famed Zocalo Square and at one point tilted from end to end by eight feet (two and a half metres).

Experts say the building will continue to sink but they've lowered the high side over the last ten years to reduce the tilt and save it from collapse.

In a project that began a decade ago, workers in Mexico City have been painstakingly removing soil from underneath the Metropolitan cathedral's northern side.

Bit by bit, the high side has come down a little over three feet (one metre) - leaving the church not completely level, but good enough to prevent collapse.

It was once more than eight feet (two and a half metres) higher than the other end.

Sergio Zaldivar is the architect heading the government restoration team of 230 geophysicists, engineers and other experts.

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
What we are doing is to speed up the pace of subsidence in the parts which are sinking slowest so that there is more balance as the movement in the earth continues, so that the structural elements sink together more.
SUPER CAPTION: Sergio Zaldivar, architect

He said cracks in the walls can start being mended as well as the cracks in the floor, and other parts of the building.

But he added that the problems of subsidence were ongoing.

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
It is not easy to predict whether the problem of the ground can be overcome. We must accept that the process of ground subsidence, sinking of the foundations is going to be pretty much a problem that will be with us for a considerable time.
SUPER CAPTION: Sergio Zaldivar, architect

The cathedral was in trouble from the day construction began in 1573 on top of an Aztec ceremonial centre that included at least one pyramid.

Roman Catholic priests accompanying the Spanish conquerors regularly built churches atop Indian ceremonial sites in an effort to convert the Aztecs and end practices like sacrificing humans alive by cutting their hearts out.

In the 240 years that the cathedral was under construction before its consecration in 1813, architects made continual adjustments to compensate for sinking.

Work stopped when a huge flood in 1629 that lasted nearly eight years forced half of Mexico City's population to move to neighbouring Puebla.

The cathedral was erected on a masonry platform about four feet (a meter) thick that rests on a mass of short wooden pilings.

In addition to its historical importance, the building is unique because of its various architectural styles - a harmonious blend of Gothic, baroque and others.

It also houses priceless art treasures.

And it's not only the cathedral which is sinking - most of Mexico City is slowly subsiding because 80 percent of its water comes from wells that tap aquifers under the city.

Although rains are heavy during the rainy season, it isn't enough to replenish the aquifers, so the ground is compacting.

The city has sunk about 24 feet (seven metres) this century, and, like the cathedral, none of it evenly.

El Paso Mission Trail, El Paso area, Texas

The El Paso Misson Trail connects the mission churches of Ysleta and Socorro and the Presidio Chapel San Elizario, historic churches established during the period of Spanish colonial rule. The trail follows Highway FM 258, a 9-mile segment of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail. El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro is the oldest highway in North America.

A group of Spanish colonists left Santa Barbara, Chihuahua in Mexico on an expedition to settle the northern reaches of Spain's territorial claims in 1598. They reached the Rio Grande River near present-day San Elizario on April 30, 1598 where they had a Thanksgiving feast, the first Thanksgiving in what is now the United States, 23 years before the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving.

They followed the Rio Grande into northern New Mexico, extending El Camino to what is now Santa Fe and San Juan Pueblo, New Mexico.

The city that sprang up at a crossing of the Rio Grande has been divided into today's Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas. A mission church established there in the 1660s is the oldest building in the El Paso area.

In the 1680s the natives of northern New Mexico revolted, expelling the Spanish south to the El Paso area. They established new settlements along the Rio Grande, along with hundreds of Tigua and Piro Indians who accompanied the retreating Spaniards. The Spanish would retake northern New Mexico in 1692, but thosse new settlements survived.

Ysleta, Socorro and San Elizario began on the south bank of the Rio Grande River, but an 1829 flood resulted in a new channel for the river, putting these communites on the north side of the river. And, as history would have it, now in the present-day United States.

The churches are active Catholic churches. They are often open to visitors, but visitors should dress and conduct themselves accordingly.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary of Mexico City (Spanish: Catedral Metropolitana de la Asunción de María) is the largest cathedral in the Americas,[2] and seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico.[3] It is situated atop the former Aztec sacred precinct near the Templo Mayor on the northern side of the Plaza de la Constitución in Downtown Mexico City. The cathedral was built in sections from 1573 to 1813 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. For more information to visit
