About Zocalo

The Zocalo is the basic name of the fundamental square in focal Mexico City. Before the frontier time frame, it was the primary stylized focus in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. The court used to be referred to just as the "Principle Square" or "Arms Square", and today its formal name is Plaza de la Constitucion Constitution Square. This name does not originate from any of the Mexican constitutions that have administered the nation yet rather from the Cadiz Constitution which was marked in Spain in the year 1812.

All things being equal, it is quite often called the Zocalo today. Plans were made to raise a section as a landmark to Independence, yet just the base, or zocalo signifying "plinth" was constructed. The plinth was covered quite a while in the past however the name has lived on. Numerous other Mexican towns and urban areas, for example, Oaxaca, Merida and Guadalajara, have received the word zocalo to allude to their fundamental squares, however not all. It has been a social occasion place for Mexicans since Aztec times, having been the site of Mexica functions, the swearing in of emissaries, illustrious declarations, military motorcades, Independence services and present day religious occasions, for example, the celebrations of Holy Week and Corpus Christi.
