| I love this castle, an icon
on Mexico's rich history. I have been there many times, every time I go
there I have the opportunity to observe its corners in more detail, it is
a National History Museum worth visiting! It's history dates back to the
14th Century when an Aztec King started to built it. Hernan Cortez made it
its residence after the Spanish Conquest, but the Castle became a public
park in 1530. During the French invasion in the 1800s, the castle was
conditioned to be the residence of emperor Maximilian of Hapsburg and his
wife Carlotta. But it was the dictator Porfirio Diaz who decorated the
palace with exquisite European taste and style. One can admire such splendor
of European lifestyle those days when visiting this museum. |

| This castle is really incredible, it is
on "Bosque de Chapultepec" in Mexico City, many years ago, there
in that place lived a Mexican group (before de Spanish Conquest), they
named this place "Chapultepec" that means "Cerro del Chapulín",
but then they had to go to another place. There's a really interesting
history about this castle. When the United States invaded México in this
castle lived some part of the México´s army, and obviously they wanted
to protect their flag, so 13 kids took the choice of die before the U.S.A.
army got the Mexican Flag. But that's not the end of the History of
this castle. Maximiliano de Hapsburg was invited by Mexican conservator's
with France help to be the Mexican Emperor. Maximiliano and his wife
(Carlota) lived in Chapultepec's Castle, and then he was shut. Benito
Juarez, who was president of this country also lived here. Now this Castle
is a museum, and I just can't find the words to describe how amazing this
castle is. How ever, I beg you to visit Chapultepec |

presidents official residence, nowadays the castle is the Mexican
