Palacio de Bellas Artes

The distinguished opera house in Mexico City
The lavish building has two museums, a mural by Diego Riviera, a Tiffany's stained glass depiction of the Mexican valley, an opera house where Plácido Domingo and Pavarotti sang, and served as funeral venue for Frida Kahlo. Truly, a sight to see.

Alameda Park's biggest attraction

The Porifirian regime created it in 1905 to display the elegance and refinement of their society, including a ball room on the upper floor. You can notice that in the impressive Italian marble sculptures, and the overall European flavor of its architecture, designed by Adamo Boari.
