Cerro de las Campanas, Santiago de Queretaro

Beautiful location; site where Emperor Maximilian of House Habsburg, along his top generals, were executed, marking the end of the Second Mexican Empire and of the French Intervention in Mexico. On top of the hill exists a monument to Benito Juarez, who led the country after expelling the French

Beautiful place to share with a loved one ❤

Maximiliano wash shot here. It is very historic. Well done. The stone bell on the right inside the gate is a fun surprise. The 5 pesos park maintenance fee is very acceptable considering the result is a very well kept park. Don't miss the wax museum, if you are into such things.

Their museum is small but very interesting. They don't allow cameras.

Also known as the Hill of Bells where things didn't go very well for Maximilian. This large city park makes for a good walk and you will see many local residents running there. On weekends students run wind sprints up the hill. There is a small general admission price to get into the park.
