Description:
Alameda Central Park is a picturesque city park with decorative statues, fountains and paved paths. It is located in the historic part of Mexico City.
Previously, on the site of the park was located El Kemadero Square, where heretics were burned. The fires burned here until the XVIII century, after which a park for the nobility was built on the square.
The park was founded in 592 on the site of an ancient Aztec market. The name of the park "Alamo" from Spanish translates as "poplar". These trees grow in the park in large numbers.
The park contains five fountains of French design that depict scenes from Greco-Roman mythology. There is also a monument to Benito Juarez, one of Mexico’s favorite presidents.
