CHAPULTEPEC CASTLE - Mexico City
CHAPULTEPEC CASTLE - MEXICO CITY


Built on Grasshopper Hill

Nahuatl is the word for a bunch of old Aztecan languages.

 


 

In these tongues, Chapultepec means Hill of the Grasshopper.

Above picture depicts the terrace of Chapultepec Castle, where James Creelman had interviewed  President Diaz.

Here is the Creelman Interview.

 

On the ceiling will be noticed some of the Pompeian decorations ordered by the hapless  Emperor Maximilian.

 

Since 1944, the Chapultepec Castle hosts the Museo Nacional De Historia, the National Museum of History.
