Something I did not expect to find while travelling in Mexico was a castle! Castillo de Chapultepec or Chapultepec Castle has a long history as a sacred place for the Aztecs to the Niños Héroes (Hero Children) who defended it in the Battle of Chapultepec during the Mexican-American War to being the set of the Capulet Mansion in Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film Romeo & Juliet starring Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. The castle is also the only ever royal residence in North America, having been inhabited by Emperor Maximilian I and his wife Empress Carlota when it was still on the outskirts of Mexico City. Nowadays it is also the home of the National Museum of History and provides incredible views of Paseo de la Reforma and surrounding Chapultepec Park.
