Federal District buildings, Administrative buildings on Zócalo Square, Mexico City, Mexico.
The Federal District buildings occupy the south side of Zócalo Square, with the older structure west of Avenida 20 de Noviembre and newer offices to the east.
The first town hall at this location was established in 1532, marking the beginning of Mexican administrative operations following the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan.
The buildings showcase colonial architectural elements through their symmetrical layouts, ornate facades, and interior murals depicting various periods of Mexican history.
The buildings house essential government departments, including offices for social development, civil protection, and the administration of Mexico City's municipal services.
Archaeological remains from the Aztec period were discovered during the construction of the newer building between 1941 and 1948, incorporating historical artifacts into its foundation.
