Constitution Square
Zócalo (Latin American Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsokalo] ) is the common name of the main square in central Mexico City. Prior to the conquest by Spain, it was the main ceremonial center in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. The plaza used to be known simply as the Plaza Mayor ('Main Square') or Plaza de Armas ('Arms Square'), and today its formal name is Plaza de la Constitución ('Constitution Square').

Plaza de la Constitución
El Zócalo
This square measures 240m long on either side. A huge Mexican flag occupies the center, which is ceremoniously lowered and re-raised each day at 18:00. You may see art exhibits, concerts, demonstrations or all manner of social gatherings taking place here. On New Year's Day, practitioners of Mexico's indigenous religions gather to bless believers for the coming year; Mexican independence is celebrated in the plaza on 15 and 16 September. During December, through the miracle of modern refrigeration, the entire Zócalo is transformed into an ice skating rink.
