Here is the huge eagle eating a snake that is now being in exhibition at the Zocalo. The brigthy sculpture is part of the decoration of one of the most visited places in Mexico City, and it’s a reference to the old legend about how the Aztecs found Aztlan: the eagle was the sign sent by the gods to the Nahuas, so they would know the place where they could settle their own city–after a long period of wandering in the Mesoamerican territory. This image is now on the center of the Mexican flag, as a symbol of the foundation of Mexico.
