My daughter bought a book at a discount place, "501 Must-Visit Cities". It's okay, as books of that sort go, but on of its lacks is that it doesn't identify the places depicted on the cover.

Mrs. R is particularly interested in knowing what one building is. I scanned the cover, and here's a link to a picture:

Can any of you architecture aficionados out there tell me what that building is?

Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City.

(Edit: only done with a strong hunch that it was an opera house, and Google Images :) )
