Cuauhtémoc, Central administrative district in Mexico City, Mexico.
Cuauhtémoc is an administrative district in the center of Mexico City that includes government buildings, commercial areas and residential neighborhoods. The district covers several neighborhoods and forms the administrative and economic heart of the capital.
The area matches the old Aztec Tenochtitlan, where Spanish conquerors built their administration after 1521. The current district was officially established in the 20th century and has carried the Aztec ruler's name ever since.
The name honors the last Aztec ruler who resisted Spanish conquest. Today people from across Mexico live here, running shops, markets and restaurants in residential neighborhoods that surround the historic plazas.
Several metro lines cross the district and connect it with all parts of the city. Most public transport runs until late evening, making it easy for visitors to move around.
The district produces one third of the capital's total economic output through its dense concentration of businesses and offices. This economic role makes it the most important financial center in the metropolis.
