Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Unlike Europe, North America isn’t generally known for its castles. However, Mexico City is home to a stunning castle that was constructed in 1725 for the commander in chief of the New Spain, a Spanish colony. The Chapultepec Castle was abandoned for a time and left in poor shape. In 1864 the castle housed another royal family, Emperor Maximilian I and his wife, Empress Carlota. Maximilian lived there for four years before his untimely death by a firing squad of his supposed supporters. Today Chapultepec Castle is the seat of the National Museum of Cultures. Visitors can tour the castle and enjoy the large collection of artwork contained there.
