Description

Photograph of a birdseye view of Main Plaza (known today as the Zócala or Plaza de la Constitución) in the México City, Mexico, [s.d.]. Various shaped patches of grass can be seen at right surrounding what appears to be a large, circular garden. Walkways, streetlights, and people can be seen amongst the grass patches. A small, one-story structure can be seen to the left of center at bottom, while what appears to be a street can be seen to the left of it. Horse-drawn carriages can be seen on the road, while the Metropolitan Cathedral can be seen to the left behind the park. A smaller building with a dome on top can be seen in the right background. Other buildings are visible in the distance.
