This book on Mexico City’s architecture is absolutely stunning! The hardcover feels solid and well-made, with thick, glossy pages that showcase the beautiful photographs. I was impressed by how the author seamlessly weaves together the city’s ancient and colonial history. The section on Aztec ruins and Spanish influences is particularly fascinating. While the $149 price tag is steep, the quality and depth of content make it worth it for serious history enthusiasts. A great addition to any coffee table – just wish there were more detailed maps included.
