Mexico City, Mexico's federal district and capital, is the vibrant heart of Latin American Catholicism, home to the Archdiocese of Mexico City (1530) and the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, drawing 10+ million pilgrims yearly to venerate the 1531 tilma image. With 83.9–91.89% of its 9.2 million residents Catholic, it blends Aztec roots with Spanish evangelization across suffragan sees like Iztapalapa, shaping national identity amid urban challenges.
