National Museum of Popular Culture
At Hidalgo 289 is the National Museum of Popular Culture (Museo Nacional de Culturas Populares), in which (somewhat unusually for museums of this kind) the exhibits are more than just that - they make things come alive and bring the visitor into close contact with the living traditions of the various Mexican ethnic groups.

Plaza de la Conchita
This plaza is named after the Capilla de la Purísima Concepción (Chapel of the Immaculate Conception). Nearby is the house named after la Malinche, the lover of Cortés. However, she never lived here as the house was built 200 years after she had passed away.
Templo San Juan Bautista
Very little of the original 16th c. structure remain of this church. Most of it has been rebuilt in the 20th c.
