Glorieta Colón

The Glorieta Colón is one of those spaces where Guadalajara expresses itself without haste. Its triangular shape, carefully divided into sections, guides the visitor to a set of fountains, gardens and stone benches that invite him to stop and observe the city from another pace. The well-made cobblestone, the quarry and the perfectly integrated green make this urban point an elegant breath within one of the most important avenues of the city. In front of the imposing obelisk, the 32 heraldic stelae that represent each state of the country transform the square into a symbolic tour of Mexico, full of identity and collective memory. Every Saturday, the roundabout takes on a different energy with its antiques market, where history, unique objects and tradition are mixed in a living and authentic environment. To visit the Glorieta Colón is to understand that in Guadalajara the public space is not only moved: it is inhabited, shared and celebrated.
