Residential Tacubaya is marked by faded colonial-era buildings and 19th-century mansions around the wooded paths and political monuments of Alameda Park. Neighboring convent Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria dates to 1590, with carved inscriptions to native tribal people who helped build it, while the nearby Casa de la Bola Museum occupies a former villa with lavishly decorated rooms and European-style gardens.
