Teatro de la República Historic Building

Located in the city’s Historic Center, this theater has witnessed several major events in Mexico’s real-life history. It’s where the Mexican National Anthem was performed for the first time and the place where, 13 years later, Maximilian I was sentenced to death. It’s also the site where the 1917 Mexican Constitution became the law of the land.
