What a cool landmark! This huge statue of a woman riding a chariot, pulled by two huge lions in a fountain is downright amazing. This statue is copied from an original in Madrid, Spain made in the late 1700's. The statue was donated by some benefactors in Madrid, who wished to show the ongoing friendship between the two metropolises.
This is really one of the coolest statues I've seen in a public setting- the lions command the attention of the traffic roundabout. I'm just glad I was walking through here so I could take the time to appreciate this huge monument.
Be careful throwing coins in this fountain, as the goddess being towed by those lions is the goddess of fertility!
The statue has a big sign that says "CDMX" that's a cool place to grab a selfie in front of. There's so many cool places to hang out on this plaza- many bars and restaurants surround this place. It also seems to be on the double-decker bus tours, as there's a lot of them that come rumbling through here!
