La Pierre du Soleil, souvent appelée abusivement calendrier aztèque ou au contraire de manière plus exacte cuauhxicalli, est une des œuvres les plus célèbres et emblématiques de l'art aztèque.
En réalité, cette pierre était une plate-forme de combat de gladiateurs. Sa fonction était de servir de pierre sacrificielle où, une fois le cœur du guerrier captif enlevé, il alimentait le Soleil en lui donnant le sang et le cœur des morts.
Découverte en 1790 au sud-est du Zocalo à Mexico, ce monolithe mesure 3.60 mètres de large et pèse...près de 24 tonnes.

Mexico, Oaxaca, Teotitlan del Valle, April 21-22, 2011. True faith suffuses every aspect of Teotitlan del Valle's painstaking recreation of the last hours of Jesus, from Thursday's afternoon's Last Supper through to a night vigil at a jail cell after his arrest. Village elders play the parts of the twelve apostles, and the town's devout fill the church for mass and communion, for the ritual washing of the disciple's feet, and for multiple gatherings which mark the hours. Good Friday dawns with music, scripture, and a solemn procession of Christ, the Virgin Mary and the town's own radiant“Virgen Dolorosa” through the streets.

The National Palace (Palacio Nacional) is the seat of the federal executive in Mexico. It is located on Mexico City's main square, the Plaza de la Constitución (El Zócalo). This site has been a palace for the ruling class of Mexico since the Aztec empire, and much of the current palace's building materials are from the original one that belonged to Moctezuma II.
