The Monumento a Cuitláhuac in Mexico City honors Cuitláhuac, the Mexica ruler who led resistance against the Spanish after Moctezuma II and before Cuauhtémoc. It is another example of modern civic commemoration of Indigenous leaders.

For learners, the useful fact is the identity of Cuitláhuac and the monument’s place in Mexico City public memory. It pairs naturally with the Monumento a Cuauhtémoc as part of the capital’s civic recognition of Mexica resistance.
