Walk through lavish chambers that once housed viceroys, Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg, and Mexican presidents, dazzling at the exquisite furnishings, grand staircases, and sweeping terraces that offer breathtaking views of Mexico City’s skyline. Your guide will reveal the castle’s rich history, from its role as a military academy to the legendary stories of the Niños Héroes, young cadets who bravely defended it in 1847.
After diving into the world of Mexico’s colonial and imperial history, our journey continues to the National Museum of Anthropology, a true treasure trove of ancient Mesoamerican cultures.
