Most visited Monuments in Mexico

Mexico City is a capital that’s not short on statues and monuments; from
those which honor past revolutionaries, to those paying homage to actors,
singers and writers, there are literally hundreds to check out and far too
many to name in detail in this guide. Located 30 miles northeast of Mexico
City in the Valley of Mexico, Teotihuacán is one of Mexico’s most popular
archaeological sites and contains some of the largest pyramidal structures
built in the pre-Columbia Americas.

List of famous Monuments in Mexico City:

1. Fuente de Cibeles

The fountain of Cibeles in Mexico City is a bronze replica of the
fountain located in the Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid that was built
during the reign of Charles III by architect Ventura Rodríguez
between 1777 and 1792. The Mexican version is located at a traffic
circle in Plaza Villa de Madrid, where Oaxaca, Durango, Medellín and
El Oro streets converge in Colonia Roma.

2. Chichén-Itzá

Although there was a city in this location as far back as 600 AD
Chichen Itza really developed in the 9th century when the cities of
Palenque and Tikel were deserted by the Mayas who moved north
into the eastern part of Yucatán. It was, however, in the 10th century
that the city was to become one of the largest Mayan cities that was
to dominate the area from central Yucatán to the north coast and
down the east and west coasts of the peninsula.
3. Uxmal

Although a great deal of work has been carried out at Uxmal – and in
fact is still being carried out not a lot is known about the city. It is
believed that it was founded around 500 AD and that most of its
development occurred between 700 and 1000 AD when it became a
thriving city and a religious centre with great ceremonial significance.
The layout of the buildings suggests knowledge of astronomy by its
planners.
