Not only is the Catedral Metropolitana one of the most spectacular and historic buildings in Mexico City, but it’s also the oldest cathedral in the Americas and one of the must-visit Catholic destinations in the capital. Situated on what was once the site of sacred pre-Hispanic monuments, the cathedral was built using stone stolen from the adjoining Templo Mayor and was formerly the location of the impressive Aztec Sun Stone, which can now be found in the National Museum of Anthropology.
