Mexico City

Assouline's coffee table book "Mexico City" takes readers on an unforgettable journey through Mexico's capital city. In the book, readers discover unmissable hotspots and sights in bustling Mexico City through author Aleph Molinari. 

With a history dating back to the 14th century, Mexico City combines indigenous pre-Hispanic roots with colonial architecture and Spanish-baroque influences. This unique blend, made of local materials such as cantera and tezontle, inspires artists and architects alike. Iconic structures such as Diego Rivera's Anahuacalli Museum and Juan O'Gorman's Cave House proudly embody the city's rich history. Today, Mexico City serves as a vibrant backdrop for famous filmmakers such as Alejandro González Iñárritu, Alfonso Cuarón and Michel Franco.
