Wikipedia said it was neoclassical I don't really know. But I'm sure there's other neoclassical buildings you know and like:

>is this building really famous abroad or something?
What do you think should be the symbol of Mexico? When I think of Mexico I think of it, that one cathedral and the pyramids

no. i don't like neoclassical. it's boring, repetitive and everyone has it.
of western styles i prefer art nouveau, baroque, rococo, romanesque or eclecticism
>What do you think should be the symbol of Mexico?
idk. i thought foreigners always thought of the pyramid of the sun or the temple of kukulkan first. in mexico torre latinoamericana and the palais national with the zocalo are probably just as if not more iconic than the palais des beaux-arts for mexico city desu

What's the use case? A lot of material expense, space, and weight spent for very little function. It's not cost-effective.
This is what the central headquarters of our government looked like.

Why do northern savages consider their particular prone to violence as representative of mexicaness, but when it comes to their economic & racial status they want to dissasociate from the country so adamantly?
