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 building has served several purposes during its history, including that of Military Academy, Imperial residence, Presidential home, observatory and currently museum. It serves today as the Mexican National Museum of History. It is the only castle in North America used as residence by a ruling European sovereign: Maximiliano de Habsburgo.
Demasiado tarde para que lo viera Maximiliano, Sarah retozo en los jardines del castillo.
