It is an underground station with two side platforms, served by Line 2 (the Blue Line). It lies between Allende and Pino Suárez metro stations. The station's pictogram features the coat of arms of Mexico and it receives its name from the Plaza de la Constitución, commonly known as Zócalo, Mexico City's main square located above the station. The station was opened on 14 September 1970, on the first day of the service Tasqueña–Tacuba. The station facilities are partially accessible for people with disabilities as there is an elevator; there is an Internet café, an information desk, a cultural display, a mural titled Cenefas conmemorativas del Bicentenario, and a passageway that connects with Pino Suárez station, where there is a free mini-cinema and various bookstores. In 2019, the station had an average daily ridership of 71,613 passengers, making it the tenth busiest station in the network and the third busiest of the line. The station was formerly named Zócalo metro station until August 2021, when it was renamed to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Fall of Tenochtitlan. From Wikipedia
