Centro Cultural Helénico
One of the most stately performance spaces in Mexico City, the Hellenic Cultural Center was constructed in 1954 using portions of a Spanish cloister and chapel from the 12th and 14th centuries as well as a baroque Guanajuato facade from the 17th century. The stately building became a cultural center in 1973 and showcases a wide range of popular plays, musicals, and festivals. It adjoins the handsome bookstore and café, Cafebrería El Péndulo.
