Mexico SPA-Resorts

The Museum of Fine Arts. The building works of the Museum of Fine Arts started in 1904 on the ruins of the Cloister of St Isabel. The inauguration of the palace was planned on the day of the 100th anniversary of the independence of Mexico from Spain. But the project, which was directed by architect Adamou Boahri, faced with serious difficulties, because of the instability of the ground. Time passed and the revolution broke out, so the palace was finished only in 1934. That's why it's not surprising that the marble front of the building has style of something between neoclassicism and art-nuevo. It contrasts a lot with other buildings that are likely to have the art deco style. Those who are really fond of art would enjoy the wall-pictures by Siqueiros, Orozco, Tamayo and Montenegro. You should also pay your attention at the glass curtain by Tiffany, created from a million of details, on which modern artist Doctor Alt depicted the volcanoes of Mexico.

The channels of Xochimilco. The channels of Xochimilco were built by the Aztec for agricultural reasons. This technique helped the Aztec to create one of the most perfect cities, the capital of Tenochtitlan. Nowadays the channels of Xochimilco are one of the most popular touristic routes. The banks of the channels are covered with numerous houses and berthing. On weekends there are especially many people there. Many Mexican families and tourists hire ships with music and food.
