One of the most historic locations in Mexico. In 1780, Viceroy Matias Galvez planned the construction by 1863 the construction was completed. It was built for Viceroy Matias Galvez because he ordered it to be built for him only. There was many architects involved which included: Eleuterio Méndez, Ramón Cruz Arango ity, Julius Hofmann, Carl Gangolf Kayser, and Carlos Schaffer. It is located on top of the Chapultepec hill and in the middle of Chapultepec park in Mexico City. The height of this royal castle is 220 feet but on top of the hill the height is 2,325 meters. The Chapultepec Castle is known for being a place where emperors and presidents have lived and governed Mexico. The Chapultepec hill was sacred for the Aztecs. During the Chapultepec battle in the Mexican American war, the United States tried to take hold of the castle however "hero children" died in order to protect it. The castle is absolutely beautiful and now it is open for the public to view because it is the Museo Nacional de Historia.
