The state capital of Mexico, Toluca

Toluca is the state capital of Mexico. Toluca is the center of a rapidly growing urban area, now the fifth largest in Mexico.

Most vistors go straight to the Cosmovitral, an indoor botanical garden housed in stained glass designed by the artist Leopolodo Flores. The stained glass depicts the human struggle between good and evil and is said by some to the largest stained glass mural in the world.

When Toluca was founded by the Matlazincas, its original name was Nepintahihui (land of corn). It is also referred to in a number of Aztec codices as Tolutepetl, meaning hill of the god Tolo, referring to the nearby volcano Nevado de Toluca.

Toluca has one of the largest bus terminals in the country.
