Chapultepec Castle (
Castillo de Chapultepec in Spanish) is located on top of
Chapultepec Hill. The name
Chapultepec stems from the
Náhuatl word
chapoltepēc which means "at the grasshopper's hill". It is located in the middle of
Chapultepec Park in
Mexico City at a height of 2,325 meters (7,628 ft) above sea level. The site of the hill was a sacred place for
Aztecs, and the buildings atop it have served several purposes during its history; including that of Military Academy, Imperial residence, Presidential home,
observatory, and presently, the
Museo Nacional de Historia.
