The capital of Mexico is Mexico City. |
|
The
Mexican flag has 3 colors.
Green is for hope and victory. White is for the purity of Mexican ideals. Red is for the blood Mexican heroes shed. |
| On the white band of the flag is an emblem. The emblem is based on a legend which tells how the Mexicans traveled from Aztlan (now the state of Nayarit) in search of the sign that Huitzilopochtli had told them they would find in the place where they should establish their empire. This sign was an eagle on top of a Nopal cactus devouring a serpent. They found this on a small island in the middle of a lake. They settled there and founded the city of Tenochtitlan, which is now Mexico City. |
