Mexico .... The murals of Diego Rivera in the National Palace, Mexico City
Time constraints did not allow us to visit all the main venues showing off the Rivera murals, however, the ones we saw were very satisfying and we came away knowing why Diego Rivera is known as one of the greatest muralists ever.

In a small segment of an extensive mural, Diego Rivera shows the much hated Bishop Diego de Landa, the burner of the Mayan codices and other works,
