Chapultepec also has great historical value as it has been inhabited since the Precolumbian era when it became a retreat of Aztec rulers. In the colonial period, Chapultepec Castle was built here, eventually becoming the official residence of Mexican heads of state. Currently, it’s one of the most important attractions in Mexico City that annually receives over 15 million visitors.
