• Teotihuacan
  

  
  Teotihuacan is the site of the most impressive pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas. The city was established around 100 BC, with major monuments continuously under construction until AD 250. The city may have lasted until the 7th and 8th centuries AD. Apart from the pyramids, Teotihuacan is also significant for its complex, multi-family residential compounds, the Avenue of the Dead, and the small portion of its vibrant murals that have been exceptionally well-preserved. Teotihuacan was built 1500 years before Aztec. The ethnicity of the inhabitants is uncertain. It is located 30 miles (50 km) northeast of modern-day Mexico City.

• Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe
  

  
  Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe is in fact two basilicas, old and new, and a shrine built on the hill where the Virgin is believed to have appeared. Old Basilica was built between 1531 and 1709. As much of Mexico City was built on a former lake, the land was unstable and the old basilica was sinking. A new, more spacious basilica was built in 1976. The original image of the Virgin of Guadalupe is now housed in this New Basilica
