The National Palace (Palacio Nacional) is the seat of the federal executive in Mexico, located on Mexico City's main square, the Plaza de la Constitución (El Zócalo). The site has been a center of power since the Aztec Empire, with the current complex's construction beginning in 1522 on the ruins of Moctezuma II's palace. It houses government offices, including the Federal Treasury and National Archives, and is renowned for its extensive murals by Diego Rivera depicting Mexican history.
