Iztapalapa, Administrative division in eastern Mexico City, Mexico
Iztapalapa extends across the eastern portion of Mexico City at an elevation of 2,240 meters, encompassing residential areas and commercial districts around Mount Estrella.
The region transformed from a pre-Columbian Aztec settlement into Mexico City's largest borough, officially named Iztapalapa de Cuitláhuac in 2006 to honor the tenth Aztec emperor.
The annual Passion Play in Iztapalapa involves 450 local performers and draws 2 million spectators, establishing itself as Mexico's largest religious theatrical production.
The Ventanilla Única de Trámites office provides residents with essential services, including permits, certificates, and documentation for commercial activities in public markets.
The Museo del Exconvento de Culhuacán preserves frescoes within a 16th-century Augustinian monastery, serving as both a cultural center and research facility.
