Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City is a must-see attraction situated in the urban forested park of Bosque de Chapultepec. It is the only castle in North America where royalty have actually lived – in this case, Mexican Emperor Maximillian I and Empress Carlota. It is also home to the National History Museum. Visitors will notice a large mural of a boy wrapped in the Mexican flag painted on the ceiling above the staircase. It is in honor of six teens who defended the castle against U.S. troops during the Mexican-American War in 1847. There is also a memorial dedicated to the six cadets. Fans of the 1996 incarnation of the movie Romeo and Juliet may recognize the castle as the setting of the movie.
