The Only True Castle In The Americas! Chapultepec Castle, Mexico City.

Sitting on top of Chapultepec Hill, overlooking Mexico City, Chapultepec Castle (now the National Museum of History) is an incredible sight that you shouldn't miss out on if you are visiting Mexico City.

Nice video. As a note, Mexico was dominated by Spain until 1821, then we had the first Mexican empire. Then the fist republic and then the french invasion. The french put Maximilian von Habsburg in power and made Mexico (called second Mexican empire) a puppet state of the french empire and Chapultepec was his castle. When the second empire fell Maximilian was shot and his body was sent to Austria. He's the uncle of the last Austro Hungarian emperor who was beatified by the church for helping stop WWI and you can see both tombs in the royal cemetery in Vienna. The building that the Spanish used when they were in power in Mexico is Palacio Nacional where the current president lives. Fun fact, if Austria became a monarchy again a Mexican could become the emperor since a part of the upper Habsburg live in Mexico and are Mexicans by birth.

The Castillo de Chapultepec, located in Mexico City, is a historic castle perched atop Chapultepec Hill. It holds significant cultural and historical importance as it has served various purposes throughout its existence, including as a royal residence, military academy, and presidential palace. The castle's architecture blends European and Mexican styles, and its lush surroundings encompass Chapultepec Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world. The site also houses the National Museum of History, which showcases Mexico's rich history through its diverse exhibits and collections, making the Castillo de Chapultepec a symbol of Mexico's past and present. Thanks, Ben Troy Outdoors!

The Mexican Royal Family still existing in Monaco. Descendants of Maximilian and Iturbide. They can claim for the crown of México, Central América an part of the United States if one day the things change and the Original Mexican Empire returns. Who knows...

George Pickett raised Old Glory from the roof after leading the ladder charge in the Mexican American War. History aside you really do see the brilliant European architecture and stained glass which makes sense considering Santa Anna and Maximillian thought of themselves as Napoleons of the West

GREAT ENDING by the way brother. I genuinely appreciated your wise and touching words, they grounded me

Buen video, si aún sigues en la ciudad te recomiendo visites el espacio escultórico de la UNAM, es un conjunto de esculturas que se encuentran dentro de un pedregal el cual se formó debido a la erupción del volcán Xitle hace miles de años, mucha de la flora y fauna son endémicas, se encuentra abierto solo de lunas a viernes de 8 am a 4 pm, no lejos del lugar también puedes visitar cuicuilco, una zona arqueológica, la ciudad detuvo su crecimiento debido a la erupción del volcán y quedo enterrada por la lava, pudieron escapar y la poblacion emigró a las ciudades cercanas, principalmente Teotihuacan, espero disfrutes tu estancia y si tienes aún tiempo o puede regresar también vale la pena visitar los dinamos, para alguien que ama la naturaleza es un lugar muy especial :)

Yes, great video and story. Also, you said it so well that it does not matter who we all are or have been in this physical life, we will die and when we are all dead ok, then we are dead as everybody and never again coming back to this life. All kinds of people have lived everywhere and in different houses etc etc and when the time is up ok, that’s it. But yes, for those who has had that chance to own and build a little more in it’s own way just like this castle the people then can go and see the beauty for what it is. It’s like Craceland now is a museum after Elvis’s life so people can go and see and dream. Frida Kahlo’s place is open for people to go and see and dream so this life is only a dream a very short dream and that’s it. So, just like you now how you live your life, you live your dream now exploring and then some day even for you, it will be all over and just a dream. So, in the bigger picture about life, live and enjoy while you can because it will end. Amen 🙏

No, This was done and occupied during the French invasion war in Mexico, Maximilian was imposed by the French empire, Mexico had already become independent from Spain, no Spanish monarch habit there

[Pasionautos]

Under French empire with Maximilian and Charlotte

[zlbqofu]

Correction, Maximilian and Carlota were in representation of Napoleon the III from the French intervention and limited colonization.
