Every day, a huge flag of Mexico is raised on the Plaza de la Constitución, possibly the hardest in the world. Every year on the evening before September 16, Grito de Dolores, calling for independence, is celebrated here. On that occasion, the President of Mexico reads the clocks that were originally sounded by Miguel Hidalgo when he called out independence in Dolores Hidalgo in 1810. 19 ° 25 '58 "NB, 99 ° 8' 0" WL
