Plaza Central De Xochimilco

The square features traditional Mexican stone architecture, garden areas with benches, and a central gazebo where musicians perform throughout the day.

The plaza retains its original colonial layout from the 16th century when Spanish missionaries established it as the administrative center of Xochimilco.

Local artisans display their crafts in the plaza while traditional food vendors prepare regional specialties like quesadillas and tamales.

The plaza connects directly to the Xochimilco light rail station and serves as a starting point for visits to the canal network.

The square maintains its function as a ceremonial space for indigenous celebrations, including the Feast of Flowers and the Day of Dead rituals.
