Tlalpan, Large administrative district in Mexico City, Mexico

Tlalpan extends across the southern part of Mexico City, comprising forests, residential areas, and educational facilities across its vast territory.

The district served as the capital of the State of Mexico from 1827 to 1830, when it was known as San Agustín de las Cuevas.

The district contains the Cuicuilco archaeological site with its circular pyramid, constructed around 300 BCE, revealing early Mesoamerican architectural practices.

The district provides 70 percent of Mexico City's water supply through its network of wells and maintains extensive conservation areas.

The borough manages over 80 percent of its territory as protected ecological zones, making it the largest natural reserve within Mexico City.
