La Monumento a la Fundación de México-Tenochtitlán is a public monument 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, representative to the imagery on the flag of Mexico and further to the founding of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire.[4]
