The mural on the northern wall of Mexico City's Central Library, on the campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico — the largest university in Latin America — is a sight to behold. The central section depicts the mythical founding of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, the former capital of the Mexican Empire, with an eagle eating a snake while perched atop a cactus. Ruins of the ancient city-state can now be found in Mexico City"s downtown.
