On the eve of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead - October 31), Mexico City's Zocalo is covered in sampsochile or marigolds, whose scent is supposed to lead souls home. Gold floral arrangements burst from the central mast and the public altar, framed by the cathedral to the north and the National Palace to the east.
Mexico City's main square, the Zócalo, or officially the Plaza de la Constitucion, was once the center of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec state.
