Mexico City: National Palace
The National Palace (Spanish: Palacio Nacional) is the seat of the federal executive in Mexico. It is located on Mexico City's main square, the Plaza de la Constitución (El Zócalo). This site has been a palace for the ruling class of Mexico since the Aztec empire, and much of the current palace's building materials are from the original one that belonged to Moctezuma II.
Used and classified as a Government Building, the National Palace, with its red tezontle facade, fills the entire east side of the Zócalo, measuring over 200 meters long. It is home to some of the offices of both the Federal Treasury and the National Archives.
The facade is bordered on the north and south by two towers and includes three main doorways, each of which lead to a different part of the building. The southern door leads to the Patio of Honor and presidential offices (no public access). The northern door is known as the Mariana Door, named in honor of Mariano Arista who had it constructed in 1850. The area next to this door used to be the old Court Prison, with courtrooms and torture chambers. It is now occupied by the Finance Ministry. It contains the Treasury Room, constructed by architects Manuel Ortiz Monasterio and Vicente Mendiola. The iron and bronze door is the work of Augusto Petriccioli.
Above the central doorway, facing the Zócalo, is the main balcony where just before 11pm on September 15, the president of Mexico gives the Grito de Dolores, in a ceremony to commemorate Mexican Independence. Part of this ceremony includes ringing the bell that hangs above the balcony. This bell is the original one that Father Miguel Hidalgo rang to call for rebellion against Spain. It originally hung in the church of Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, but was relocated here. In the niche containing the bell, there is the Mexican coat of arms. On each side there is an Aztec eagle knight and his Spanish counterpart. These were sculpted by Manuel Centurion and symbolize the synthesis of Mexican culture and Spanish culture.
The central door leads to the main patio which is surrounded by Baroque arches. Only the balustrade of this area has been remodeled, conserving the murals by Diego Rivera that adorn the main stairwell and the walls of the second floor. In the stairwell is a mural depicting the history of Mexico from 1521 to 1930,[1] and covers an area of 450 m2 (4800 ft2). These murals were painted between 1929 and 1935, jointly titled The Epic of the Mexican People.
Diego also painted 11 panels on the middle floor, such as the Tianguis of Tlatelolco (tianguis means market), and the Arrival of Hernán Cortés in Veracruz. These are part of a series depicting the pre-Hispanic era. Peoples such as the Tarascos of Michoacán, the Zapotecs and Mixtecs of Oaxaca and the Huastecs of Hidalgo, San Luis Potosí and Veracruz. However, this series was not finished.
On the upper floor is what once was the Theatre Room of the viceroys, which became the Chamber of Deputies from 1829 to August 22, 1872, when the room was accidentally destroyed by fire. In this parliamentary chamber the Reform Constitution of 1857 was written. This and the Constitution of 1917 are on display.
The Palace has fourteen courtyards but only a few of these, such as the Grand Courtyard beyond the central portal, are open to the public. The National Palace also houses the main State Archives, with many historical documents, and the Biblioteca Miguel Lerdo de Tejada, one of the largest and most important libraries in the country.
On north annex of the building is the Treasury Room and the Benito Juárez Museum. Between the two is the Empress Stairway, built by brothers Juan and Ramón Agea. When faced with claims that their work was unstable and would collapse, they had a full battalion charge down them while they stood underneath. The Treasury Room is no longer in use. Leading to the Museum part of the complex, which used to be the Finance Ministry, is a statue of Benito Juárez by Miguel Noreña. This work was criticized at the time because it was felt that such an honored person should not be depicted sitting on his coattails, as it was contrary to social etiquette at the time. In the Finance Ministry patio is the Benito Juárez Room, where this president lived during the end of his term and where he died on July 18, 1872. The bedroom, living room and study have been preserved complete with a number of objects belonging to the president.
Diego Rivera's Murals in Mexico City at the Palacio Nacional
Upon entering the Palacio Nacional to view Diego Rivera amazing series of murals we met Hugo, who enriched what we saw so much that I decided to share his informative and entertaining tour. Like the majority of my Mexico videos, this was casually shot and then edited all on my iPod 5. There are some rough edges but I think the content holds up.

Between 1929 and 1950, Diego Rivera painted murals in the Palacio Nacional that relate the history of the Mexican people, from their pre-Hispanic origins to the middle of the 20th century. Rivera’s primary concern was to give a voice to the indigenous communities and cultures of his country.

Mexico City's National Palace and Home of the Aztecs.
According to legend, one of their leader priests, Tenoch, had a vision in which the god Huitzilopochtli instructed them to look for a sacred site marked by an eagle with a snake in its beak, perched on a prickly pear cactus. The group came upon the sign on a small island along the western edge of Lake Texcoco, and in 1325 they founded Tenochtitlán in todays modern Mexico City.

????????Mexico's presidential palace opens to public l Al Jazeera English
Mexico's new president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has opened the doors of Mexico's hitherto off-limits presidential palace.
Mexico's president has declared that the presidential residence and office, known as Los Pinos, will become a cultural centre, while he lives in his own home as part of his austerity drive.
Not all Mexicans are sure if President Obrador is making good on his promise of change for the people or if opening Los Pinos is just a publicity stunt, but in the meantime, people are flocking to take a look.
Al Jazeera's John Holman joined the tour in Mexico City.
