The Plaza de las Tres Culturas ("Square of the Three Cultures") is the main square within the Tlatelolco neighbourhood of Mexico City. The name "Three Cultures" is in recognition of the three periods of Mexican history reflected by buildings in the plaza: pre-Columbian, Spanish colonial, and the independent "mestizo" nation. The plaza, designed by Mexican architect and urbanist Mario Pani, was completed in 1966. The square contains the remains of Aztec temples and is flanked by the Catholic church of Santiago de Tlatelolco〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.planetware.com/mexico-city/santiago-de-tlatelolco-mex-df-st.htm )〕 (built between 1604 and 1610 by fray Juan de Torquemada〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.frommers.com/destinations/mexicocity/A24368.html ); for the role of Torquemada, see his ''Monarquía indiana, Lib. XVII, cap. 5〕) and by a massive housing complex built in 1964. The former headquarters of the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs (foreign ministry) also stands on the southern edge of the square. This headquarters now houses a memorial museum called "Memorial 68", opened by UNAM in October 2007,〔 Arroyo is the Director of CCUT, which houses the museum.〕 to remember the 1968 Mexican student demonstrations and the Tlatelolco Massacre victims and survivors.〔〔(hotelplanner.com )〕 On the south side of the Plaza stands a large stone memorial erected on October 2, 1993, the 25th anniversary of the massacre, in memory of the hundreds killed. ==See also== *Unidad Habitacional Nonoalco-Tlatelolco * Memorial del 68 (Spanish Wikipedia)(Google translation ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plaza de las Tres Culturas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
