Glorieta La Minerva
Symbol of the most important of modern Guadalajara is, without a doubt, La Minerva. This colossal figure became a meeting center to celebrate the triumphs of the Mexican national team and the Chivas and a must-see for tourists, who come to take the photo of the memory. The statue depicts the Roman goddess Minerva with indigenous features. It's eight meters tall and made of bronze. At the foot of the sculpture is read the motto "Justice, Wisdom and Strength, guard this loyal City".
Escultura La Estampida
It is a sculpture of 14 galloping horses, each of these horses has its own movement (they are not the same). This monument represents the foundation of the city and the Coat of Arms of Guadalajara. It is made of bronze and represents the escape of 14 horses, artistically very well achieved. It was designed and elaborated by Jorge de la Peña The sculpture of the horses was removed from the López Portillo Garden in 1997 and was taken to the junction of López Mateos Avenue and Niños Héroes, a point that the Jaliscienses have called the Glorieta de los Caballos because it is the place where the piece now resides.
Templo Expiatorio del Santisimo Sacramento
The history of the Expiatory dates back to 1897 when a group of Catholic faithful led by then-Archbishop Pedro Loza organized a competition to decide who would be in charge of building this church. The chosen one was the Italian Adamo Boari who at the time was in Mexico, brought by President Porfirio Díaz to perform works as important as the Palace of Fine Arts in present-day Mexico City. In August 1897 it began its construction, but was interrupted in 1911 due to the Mexican Revolution that paralyzed the country. Years later, on January 6, 1927, it was resumed by architect Ignacio Díaz Morales and completed until 1972. Built of hand-carved quarry stone, its impressive facade is divided into three sections topped in pinnacle. In each section stand out its doors of granadillo wood, and white marble in its medallions, as well as the figures embedded in bronze on Eucharistic themes.
