Castillo de Chapultepec, built by the Viceroy Bernardo de Galvez in 1785. Many newer additions were added by Emperor Maximilian in 1865-1866.
El Castillo was the last position captured by the U.S. army in it's invasion of Mexico City in 1847. This battle is known as the Battle of Chapultepec, September 12-13, 1847.
The Chapultepec Castle is located in the Bosque de Chapultepec, a massive park located in Mexico City DF. It is 1600 acres (6 sq km) in size and is a major tourist attraction in the city. In the early 13th century the Aztecs first arrived in what is now Mexico City (Valle de Mexico). Living temporarily in the area of the current park, they named it Chapultepec, which means 'grasshopper hill' in the Aztec language, Nahuatl. The Spanish follwed in 1521 taking control of the entire valley and declaring the area of Chapultepec to be a protected for the good of the population.
Located within the park are Chapultepec Zoo (Zoologico de Chapultepec), Auditorio Nacional, an amusement park called La Feria, the modern art museum (Museo de Arte Moderno) and contemporary art museum (Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Internacional Rufino Tamayo), and Mexico's world famous Anthroplogy Museum (Museo Nacional de Antropologia e Historia).
The park is within easy walking distance from the neighbouring districts of Polanco, Insurgentes, and Zona Rosa. There are three Metro (subway) stations adjacent to the park (Auditorio, Constituyentes, and Chapultepec). It is a very large park and walking between the different attractions will take longer than expected.

Chapultepec Castle (Spanish: Castillo de Chapultepec) is located on top of Chapultepec Hill. The name Chapultepec stems from the Nahuatl word chapoltepēc which means "at the grasshopper's hill". It is located in the middle of Chapultepec Park in Mexico City at a height of 2,325 meters (7,628 ft) above sea level. The site of the hill was a sacred place for Aztecs, and the buildings atop it have served several purposes during its history, including that of Military Academy, Imperial residence, Presidential home, observatory, and presently, the National Museum of History.
It is the only royal castle in North America that was actually used as the residence of a sovereign: the Mexican Emperor Maximilian I, and his consort Empress Carlota, lived there during the Second Mexican Empire.

The second largest urban park in Latin America, the Bosque de Chapultepec is considered the most important green space in the city. This pond is located near the baths of Montezuma and at base of Chapultepec Hill.

Il Castello di Chapultepec è un castello che si trova sul monte di Chapultepec al centro dell'omonimo parco, situato a Città del Messico ad un altezza di 2.325 metri sopra il livello del mare.
Attualmente il castello ospita il museo nazionale di Storia.
Mi inspiración para éste proyecto era tomar fotos tipo graffitis, bicis, pero debido a que vivo en la Ciudad de México, ya estando en la calle me ganó el miedo de traer la cámara y mi inspiración se fué en un segundo. Tuve que cambiar el escenario al siguiente día al Castillo de Chapultepec, en donde hay seguridad y la inspiración volvió rápidamente. Aunque no sólo bastó la inspiración ya que de toda mi sesión salieron un par de fotos buenas, ésta es una de ellas. Espero poco a poco poderme acostumbrar a salir con la cámara o por lo menos tener algo de compañía para sentirme más segura andando con ella en cualquier lugar.
