You can see this mix of cultures in Mexico’s architecture. Throughout the country, old and modern buildings sit side by side. Some Spanish-style buildings are hundreds of years old. Other buildings and homes were built just a few years ago.

That’s the case in an area of Mexico City. It’s known as the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, or the Plaza of Three Cultures. This area has Aztec ruins and a Spanish church from the 1600s. These historical sites are right beside modern office buildings.
