What an impressive Fountain!
This fountain is located right in the middle of the main street. Which can be reached by the teferico or by the little park right across the way.
In the center of the fountain there is a plate made of marble in where underneath are the actual burial grounds of Gen Ignacio Zaragoza and his wife. This plaza has national security 24 hrs around to make sure the remains are not being either vandalized or taken.
The story behind the statue is that the General passed due to sickness so it is represented by the horse standing on 3 legs.
If he was to died by natural causes then the horse should be standing on all 4s, and if he was to died in battle then the horse be standing on just 2 legs.
The fountain has 2 other statues one is a soldier armed and ready for battle and on the other a field worker also armed with his machete ready to defend his land.
Both sides represent what the battle of 5 de Mayo was about.
A place to come and visit, especially if you take the teleferico ride.
Loved the lights decoration at night. Not really such a must visit spot but if are around might as well check it. There is a gorgeous view close by of the city and on this place there is a spot that looks like the pedestal of the master sword sadly they don't let you get on it to snap a picture.
In the next holidays, it's a cool place for the visit in the Puebla City.
Totally worth going and you can cross the street (carefully) and go to the park in front were they have mini models of some representations of the battle
Good lights, I think there's more structure than the real monument, and the guard at the tomb is not fun, he doesn't allow certain things.
