The Tree of the Sad Night: A Historical Monument by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Tree of the Sad Night is a natural monument located in the north of Mexico City that commemorates the defeat of Hernán Cortés at the hands of the Mexica army, when Cortés sat under this ahuehuete tree to lament his defeat. The tree has suffered attempts of intentional burning and neglect by the governments, despite the fact that a plaza was recently built to protect it, but it is currently in a state of extreme disrepair and dirtiness.
