Breve semblence of the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral. The Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City is a most see landmark in the Mexico City’s downtown. It is located in the Northern side of the main plaza also known as “Zocalo”. It faces South alongside with their twenty-five bells unequally distributed among their two bell-towers. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven and if one stand still at their doorway, the coat of arms of the city can be distinguished. On the highest part, a clock designed by the sculptor Manuel Tolsá representing Faith, Hope and Charity can be appreciated as well. The Cathedral was first ordered in the 16th century by the Spanish conqueror Hernán Cortés, who not only destroyed existents temples and representations dedicated to pre-hispanic gods but also decided to build the new cathedral over the ruins of these constructions using the exact same remains of the original sculptures of Aztecs gods and goddess. Likewise the rest of the antique city, the Cathedral was built over the Texcoco Lake and for that reason the soil is not hard enough to support it. The modern building is actually paying the price for its immense weight with the correspondent sinking of its sixteen chapels along with all the sacred art contained within. After almost five-hundred years of existence, this construction can be directly linked to a number of historical events of the Mexican nation but just to mention one of the most recent. In 1947, a novice bell-ringer stud up over a bell and it crashed his head on the swung back caused his immediate death. Regardless of how ridiculous it may sounds, the bell was actually “punished“ for this fortuneless event and the clapper was removed from it. Due to this same reason the bell was named as “The mute one” or “The punished one” not being allowed to produce any sound until the pope John Paul, the second, gave his forgiveness during the year two-thousand jubilee.
