The performer was on Tacuba Street, just a few meters from the sculpture El Caballito, that very famous equestrian piece of Charles IV of Spain created by the sculptor Manuel Tolsá at the beginning of the 19th century and which, despite its controversial history, remains one of the most emblematic monuments of neoclassical art in Mexico.
There’s no news about the production team that accompanied Zendaya during her stay in the Historic Center. Nor are there any details about what project she might have been filming.
