REVOLUTION MONUMENT


Originally the building was meant to be a legislative chamber, but the construction of the Monumento a la Revolución was interrupted by the Revolution, and there were plans of demolishing the building, but instead it was modified and given a new role. Unveiled in 1938, it contains the tombs of the revolutionary and post-revolutionary heroes Pancho Villa, Francisco Madero, Venustiano Carranza, Plutarco Elías Calles and Lázaro Cárdenas.
