Azcapotzalco, Administrative borough in northwestern Mexico City, Mexico.
Azcapotzalco extends across 33.69 square kilometers at an elevation of 2,252 meters, containing 61 colonias, 15 pueblos, and 11 barrios within its boundaries.
The territory transformed from a pre-Hispanic Tepanec dominion into a municipality in Mexico City until 1928, when it became one of the city's administrative boroughs.
The historic center received recognition as a Barrio Mágico in 2011, featuring Plaza Hidalgo where residents gather regularly for chess games and community events.
Major transportation routes connect the borough through multiple Metro stations and trolleybus systems, facilitating access to industrial zones and residential areas.
Every year for over 475 years, local communities maintain the Fiesta de los Naturales tradition, organizing a festival before their pilgrimage to the Basilica of Guadalupe.
