These areas are two of the oldest neighborhoods in Mexico City. Colonia Juárez is one of the emerging neighborhoods in the city. Back in 1900 it was a very wealthy area filled with mansions and it became home to a large artistic community in the 60s. After the earthquake of 1985, the area was devastaded and lost it's popularity. Recently, the whole area is enjoying a revival where new creative minds are emerging and gorgeous places are born inside of the old structures.

This is one of the most representative landmarks in the city, built before the Mexican Revolution to commemorate the first century of Mexico’s Independence War. This might remind you of the Berlin Victory Column or the July Column in Paris, this is because at that time, the dictator Porfirio Díaz was in love with French culture, so he tried to rebuilt Mexico City as an American Paris. At the base of the column there are 4 sculptures representing Law, War, Justice, and Peace. On Sundays, you can climb to the top and take a look at the amazing city skyline.
