Legend has it that the Palace of Axayácatl, where Moctezuma II once gave shelter to Hernán Cortés and his captains, once stood here. However, over the course of time, the Monte de Piedad Nacional was constructed on the spot. This building dates back to 1775. At the beginning of the twentieth century, a new floor was added, making it larger, but not affecting its elegant appearance. Visitors today will find a huge shop here that sells second-hand objects.
