Madero Avenue, Pedestrian street in Historic Center, Mexico City, Mexico
Francisco I. Madero Street extends from Zocalo Square to Eje Central, featuring numerous historical buildings along its paved walkway length of 800 meters.
The street emerged in 1862 on ancient Aztec ruins, later receiving its current name in 1914 when General Pancho Villa honored revolutionary leader Francisco I. Madero.
Multiple architectural styles line the street, from Spanish colonial structures like Casa de los Azulejos to modern buildings such as Torre Latinoamericana.
The pedestrian zone accommodates wheelchair users with free rental services and connects directly to metro stations Allende and Bellas Artes.
The 2009 transformation into a car-free zone increased local business revenue by 30 percent and attracts over 200,000 daily visitors.
