Diana la Cazadora

Cuauhtémoc Fodor's choice
Constructed over the course of four years and completed in 1942 by Mexican sculptor Juan Fernando Olaguíbel Rosenzweig, this celebrated fountain of Diana the Huntress stands nine feet tall. The one-ton bronze homage to the Roman goddess was originally designed nude, then was covered for more than two decades due to public and political outcry until she was liberated into her natural form again in 1967. She had originally been unveiled at Bosque de Chapultepec and then moved to an obscure location, from which she was rescued and moved to the city’s bustling Paseo de la Reforma in 1992.

Fuente de Neptuno

Renowned Mexican architect and Bajío native Eduardo Tresguerras built this fountain in an orchard of the San Antonio monastery in 1797. According to one story, the monks sold some of their land and the fountain along with it when they were facing serious economic problems. It now stands next to the Templo de Santa Clara.

Fuente Mudéjar

Life in this small town on the banks of the Río Grijalva revolves around the Plaza Angel Albino Corzo. In the center is the unusual Fuente Mudéjar, or Moorish Fountain. The structure, built in 1562, once supplied the town with water. Said to be in the shape of the crown of the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, it is a mishmash of Moorish, Gothic, and Renaissance styles.
