🏛 NEW SPAIN, 1650 — It is five in the morning in viceregal Mexico City.
The cold of the high plateau seeps through the tezontle-tiled courtyards.
Indigenous canoes glide silently through the canals.
And in a criollo mansion three blocks from the Zócalo,
an elite family begins its day exactly as it did 374 years ago.

Welcome to an immersive AI-powered reconstruction of daily life
in 17th-century colonial New Spain.
