The Hemiciclo a Juárez is an elegant white Italian marble monument located in the Central Alameda, in the heart of the city. It was built in honor of Benito Juárez, highlighting his legacy as a defender of justice and laws. Its semicircular design with Doric columns symbolizes solemnity and respect for one of the most important characters in Mexican history.
Central Alameda, located on Avenida Juárez, is a historic urban park and the oldest in America, founded in 1592. Surrounded by important monuments such as the Palace of Fine Arts, it stands out for its tree-lined paths, fountains, sculptures and the emblematic Hemicycle to Juárez. It is a traditional space of walk, rest and coexistence in the heart of the Historic Center.
The Mexico City Metro is one of the most important transportation systems in Mexico and Latin America for its large capacity and coverage. The route from the Alameda Central to the Metro Hidalgo (Metro Line 3 of Mexico City) offers a brief glimpse of urban art: corridors with photographs, murals and temporary exhibitions on the history and culture of the city, turning the route into a small underground gallery.
The Metro La Raza houses the Science Tunnel, an interactive space within the Mexico City Metro. This underground museum showcases images and panels on astronomy, biology and technology, turning the tour into an educational and visual experience
