Iztapalapa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iztapalapa is one of the 16 delegaciones (boroughs) into which Mexico's Federal District is divided.

About one million people come to Iztapalapa every year to witness a reenactment of the Passion of Christ, a practice that began in 1833 when the people escaped a cholera epidemic.

The Pre-Columbian pyramid known as the "Hill of the Star" is in Iztapalapa.
