Tlaxcoaque is a plaza located in the historic center of Mexico City which has given its name to both the 17th-century church that is on it and the blocks that surround it. Historically this plaza and the church that sits on it have marked the southern edge of Mexico City, and today it is on the border of the historic center and Colonia Obrera. The church and plaza are somewhat isolated from the rest of the center due to the construction of wide streets, such as 20 de Noviembre and Fray Servando Teresa de Mier, that separate them from the surrounding buildings. Another notable building in this area is the police surveillance station, which was infamous in the 1970s as a place where detainees were tortured. This stopped after the 1985 Mexico City earthquake exposed handcuffed bodies which ha

| - La plaza Tlaxcoaque es un espacio público en la ciudad de México, localizada en el límite sur del centro histórico de la ciudad, en lo que anteriormente hacía parte del barrio de Tlaxcoaque. El elemento principal de la plaza es la capilla de la Santísima Concepción, un templo barroco del siglo XVII. A partir de 2010 se planteó su renombre como Plaza del Bicentenario. Hasta principios del siglo XX, la plaza consistía en un espacio abierto que funcionaba como atrio de la capilla de la concepción, rodeada de una zona popular llena de callejuelas estrechas. Durante las obras de apertura de la avenida 20 de noviembre, los edificios que rodeaban la capilla fueron demolidos y la plaza fue delineada con su forma actual. La plaza experimentó una fase de decadencia durante los dos últimos tercios del siglo XX, desde que la zona fue abierta para construir avenidas de rápida velocidad. Fue tristemente célebre porque junto a ella se localizaba el edificio de Policía y Tránsito del Departamento del Distrito Federal, y fue escenario de corrupción, robo de vehículos y violaciones a los derechos humanos. En 2008, el Gobierno del Distrito Federal convocó a un concurso internacional para construir la llamada Plaza del Bicentenario en Tlaxcoaque, que conmemorará el bicentenario de la Independencia de México. Según el gobierno, la plaza será la puerta de entrada al centro histórico. El proyecto, que costará 250 millones de pesos e iniciará en 2009, será dirigido por los arquitectos italianos Antonio Sposito y Elena Bruschi, asociados con el mexicano René Caro, quienes ganaron el concurso. La Plaza Bicentenario contaría con un muro verde, jardín y dos espejos de agua que rodearían a la capilla. De uno de los espejos emergería un monumento a la independencia y a la revolución mexicana.

This stopped after the 1985 Mexico City earthquake exposed handcuffed bodies which had evidence of torture on them. Today, the area around this plaza is semi-deserted outside of work hours and is considered to be a high-crime area. The church itself has experienced break-ins. (en)
