The Monumento a la Fundación de México-Tenochtitlán is installed near the government offices in the historic center of Mexico City, Mexico.[2] The monument, designed by Carlos Marquina,[3] was dedicated in 1970. Part of the sculpture depicts an eagle atop a cactus, eating a snake, similar to the imagery on the flag of Mexico.[4]
