Introduction
Mexico's Supreme Court (Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación) occupies the south-eastern corner of the Zócalo, built between 1935 and 1941 on ground that had held the Aztec ceremonial precinct and later a colonial market. The exterior is restrained neo-colonial; inside, the stairwells hold murals painted by José Clemente Orozco in the 1940s on themes of justice and social critique, with later works by other artists added over the decades. It remains a working court, so visits follow security screening and set opening hours.
