Venustiano Carranza, Administrative district in eastern Mexico City, Mexico.

The borough covers 33.4 square kilometers in central-eastern Mexico City, featuring numerous residential neighborhoods and three major traditional markets.

The territory was originally part of Lake Texcoco, transforming from a water body into an urban area throughout the colonial period.

The district contains the National Archives of Mexico, housed in the former Lecumberri Palace, along with multiple educational institutions and cultural centers.

The Mexico City International Airport and TAPO bus terminal, which serves eastern and southeastern routes, operate within the district boundaries.

At Peñon de los Baños, residents perform an annual reenactment of the Battle of Puebla, complete with period costumes and cannon fire.
