Ce point d’intérêt est disponible en audio dans le circuit: Visit San Francisco, Open and Engaged city
Here, on the corner of Mission Street and 23rd Street, is a fine example of a mural painted in honor of the Mexican community by Cid Mario. On the left is a mariachi, accompanied by women in colorful traditional costumes, and the step pyramid of Tenochtitlan, the famous capital of the Aztec empire. It represents the “Templo Mayor”, the great temple that served as a ceremonial center for the Aztecs. Destroyed under the orders of the conquistador Hernan Cortés, along with the rest of the city, it was on the temple ruins that Mexico City, then capital of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, was founded.
