Catedral Metropolitana
The Spanish tore down the temples and stacked them into this. Serpent-heads are mortared into the walls. Conquest is not a metaphor here; it is the masonry.
The largest cathedral in the Americas, raised over 250 years directly on the razed Aztec sacred precinct — built from its very stones.
