Its origins date from 1325, when the Mexica discoverd the central islet in Texcoco Lake where they settled and eventually founded a powerful empire, which was defeated by the Spanish conqueror, Hernán Cortés. The Colonial period produced so many magnificent churches, monasteries and palaces that it came to be known as "the city of the palaces." The Federal District has an extremely complete infrastructure, with air and overland links to everywhere in the country, hotels, restauranst, amusement centers, cinemas, theaters and dozens of musuems.
