Plaza de las Tres Culturas
The Plaza of 3 Cultures is located at the ancient city Aztec city of Tlatelolco where you can see the ruins of You can also see the Colonial Cathedral of Santiago which dates back to 1524 (although it was rebuilt in 1609), inside there is the baptismal fountain of Juan Diego, the indian to whom, according to tradition, the Virgen de Guadalupe de Guadalupe appeared in 1531. Also nearby there are many apartment buildings, and government buildings. The Plaza of the Three Cultures in Mexico City, known as the Plaza de las Tres Culturas in Spanish, symbolizes Mexico’s unique cultural heritage. The name of this plaza is derived from the fusion of Mexico’s three main cultural epochs: pre-Hispanic, colonial and present-day, and it offers elements taken from all three historical periods.
The plaza is also important as being the site of three terrible events in Mexican history. It was at Tlatelolco that on August 13, 1521 the Aztecs made their final stand against the Spanish army led by Hernan Cortes. It is said that 40,000 Aztecs died in the desperate struggle and their bodies clogged the local canals for days afterward.

The attack took place at a police barricade outside Tres Vidas,where conflict between a private hotel and farming interest has sparked a series of conflict.

Plaza de Santo Domingo
Plaza Santo Domingo has a scale and use that makes it one of the city's great urban spaces. Proportions, dimensions, height of buildings to width of plaza, are appropriately humane. Tactile, somatic experiences abound. This is what has attracted me to Mexico: the way public urban space is scaled, varies and inter-weaves: Santo Domingo, contrasting, and connected, to el Zocalo demonstrates this. Also found in the plaza are the Palacio de la Inquisición, which now houses a nursery school, and the church of Santo Domingo, which are all that remains of New Spain's first Dominican convent.
