| The view to the northwest with the Iglesia and Plaza de Santa Veracruz across from the Alameda at the bottom. In the distance center is a strange ihop pyramid. |
The view due north up Lazaro Cardenas with the Palacio de Bellas Artes lower left. A sharp eye can pick out Plaza Garibaldi just above center on the right side of the street, the Paseo de la Reforma angling next, further the green east-west belt of Tlateloco and the Plaza de las Tres Culturas surrounded by tall buildings. Finally in the distance the mount of La Villa de Guadelupe is a peak that can be seen like a beacon up many north-south city streets. |
The view to the northeast with the Iglesia and (colorful tianguis of) the Plaza de Santo Domingo center. |
| Mexico City's central park, the Alameda (named after the alamo tree) is directly west. |
The view south looking down Lazaro Cardenas with tall buildings center lining the east-west artery named Izazga (east) and Belen (west). |
Looking directly east along Avenida Madero at the zocalo (Plaza de la Constitucion) and National Palace center. The Catedral Metropolitana is just north (to the left). |
