Here's another stunning building not far from near El Zócalo square.

Casa de los Azulejos (the house of tiles), an 18th-century Baroque palace, now houses a restaurant in an inner courtyard.

Late afternoon sun is beautiful on the Metropolitan Cathedral, and beautiful on the smiling woman's face in the forground.

The setting sun brought sparkle to the windows of the historic buildings. Shadows brought out detail in the stone work.

When the sun fell, some buildings, like Parroquia de Santa Inés across from our hotel, were colorfully lit up.

On our second day, we returned to El Zócalo square for shopping in the markets under the tents.

Outside the historic center, we asended from a metro station and found modernity and new neighborhoods to explore.
