Place de la Conchita

Piazza de la Conchita is a small but attractive area of Mexico City that is impossible to pass by. In each side of the square there is a landmark of the city.

The square was originally called de la Concepcion.

In one corner of the square is the Casa Colorada house, which was built by the conquistador Hernán Cortés for Dona Marina. In the southeast side of the square is the Chapel of Conchita, built in the 18th century in the Baroque style. In the southern part there is a bronze statue of Frida Kahlo, made by modern Mexican sculptor Gabriel Ponzanelli.
