The teacher recommended me as a tourist's sightseeing the Plaza de la constitution. But this place has a different name in Wikipedia. The Zócalo is the common name of the main square in central Mexico City. Prior to the colonial period, it was the main ceremonial center theAztec city of Tenochtitlan. The plaza used to be known simply as the "Main Square" or "Arms Square," and today its formal name is Plaza de la Constitución (Constitution Square). However, it is almost always called the Zócalo today.

Monumento a la Independencia or in English the Angel of Independence is a victory column.
