This is a hotel in Mexico City. Here's why it is aptly named the "City of Palaces" 🧵 pic.twitter.com/Atqr6XLkaH

When German geographer Alexander von Humboldt visited in the early 1800s, he christened it the "City of Palaces". He even sent a letter home saying Mexico City could rival any major city in Europe. pic.twitter.com/HA3NCAWzZ9

The city is home to an enviable number of ornate palaces, in large part due to an explosion of neoclassical and Baroque residences built by wealthy Spanish nobles and encouraged by the Crown in the 18th century. pic.twitter.com/O9xi7dUDFd

Those earlier styles were then followed by dramatic movements in Beaux-Arts, Art Nouveau and Art Deco - injecting vivid color and elaborate styling into the city's architecture. pic.twitter.com/yg6dTsjo4d

The Gran Hotel Ciudad de México is perhaps the most exquisite. Its Tiffany glass ceiling (c.1908), designed by French artist Jacques Grüber, consists of 20,000 separate pieces of glass. This Art Nouveau spectacle is among the finest glasswork anywhere in the world. pic.twitter.com/YS1xa8SsfG

@Culture_Crit I love Mexico….some of my best memories were created there… Tulum…cave diving/scuba/snorkeling at “dos ojos” …a nation so underrated, with so much potential. So much beauty —yet, still so much horrible crime all on one place. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏼 pic.twitter.com/eyKwyWFqCo

@Culture_Crit Aunque todos son una maravilla, muchos de los que pones no estaban cuando Humboldt visito México. En esa lista deben estar: El palacio de Iturbide, Condes de Valparaiso, Conde Torre Casio, Conde de Regla Colegio de San Carlos (Academia) Merques de la Selva Condes de Heras

@Culture_Crit Ironically Mexico was very wealthy under Spanish rule and then the so called Independence was achieved only to ruin the country for decades to come and was slowly recovering when the civil war came about and ruined the country once again
