By sad, I mean to see what the cathedral is built of. Every piece of stone was dismantled from the pyramids of the Aztecs and built with forced native labor. This cathedral is a monument to colonial shame, and everyone who visits it should be reminded of the destruction of indigenous culture in the Americas. Don't miss the outdoor museum... More
