Monument to the Revolution, Mexico City (© Thom Lang/Corbis)

【February 5 2013】If you visit the Monument to the Revolution in Mexico City, you'll be closer to some of the country's revolutionary war heroes than you may realize. After more than three decades of autocratic rule under President Porfirio Díaz, Mexico had become industrialized by the early 1900s, but at the expense of the working class.

Interred in the structure are several leaders of the revolt, including Madero. Explore breathtaking Gallery from the HuluTrip homepage over the past 5 years..
