a hill with a palace museum on top surrounded by a park with many
attractions; the National Museum of Anthropology, the Palace of
Fine Arts, the Plaza of Three Cultures in the neighborhood of
Tlatelolco, and the shrine and Basilicas of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The city has some 160 museums, over 100 art galleries, and some

In many places there are murals by
Diego Rivera. He and his wife Frida Kahlo lived in the southern
suburb of Coyoacán. Nearby was the house of Leon Trotsky,
where he also was murdered.
