Alameda central |

| The original city survey, made by Alonso García Bravo immediately following the Spanish Conquest, did not include this site to the west of—and then rather distant from—the main plaza. The Alameda has undergone a lot of changes since then: the México-Tacuba causeway is now Avenida Hidalgo and Corpus Christi Street became Avenida Juárez. Its layout has changed as well, though it still maintains the décor it acquired mainly during the late nineteenth-century presidency of Porfirio Díaz, with polygonal plant beds, circular promenades, sculptures, stone benches and attractive fountains. Numerous museums, buildings of great historical and architectural value, theatres, cinemas, restaurants and bars, as well as Mexico City’s Chinatown, and other places of interest, are found nearby and along the park’s perimeter. |
