Parque Alameda Central, Alameda ParkMexico, Mexico City
Alameda Park is located in the historic center of Mexico City, adjacent to Juarez Avenue, near Reform Avenue. The name of the park means "poplar". The first poplars were planted here under Viceroy Luis de Velasco at the end of the 16th century, when he decided to create a public park. The central park is decorated with fountains, especially interesting is the 18th century baroque fountain in the center of the park. Several sculptures and monuments are installed here, among which stands out the monument to Benito Juarez, who became president of Mexico several times. Adjacent to the park are the Palace of Fine Arts and the Diego Rivera Mural Museum.
