Beautiful structure in GDL that honors when and where Guadalajara was founded... February 14th, 1542.

The other side of this masterpiece also states when the GDL coat of arms was created, by whom and when... November 8th, 1539.

Originally known as, Guadalajara, the capital of the Nuevo Galicia Kingdom.

Truly a piece of art!!!

I walked across this street at the arcs daily to class at CEPE center for foreign students about two miles away from 59 Nicolas Leano where my host family resided. I learned this was the old original entrance into the city. There were always two police uniform men with long rifles there nodded at me and no gunfire. No words but looked friendly. My teacher advised not to talk to police and that aids was high. Not many people talked since I walked most places to keep from getting in wrong bus. Not sure at age 27 why I didn't think to rent a car. Lol but The cabs were good enough for class outings and longer trips on school sponsored buses. The city bus one day at the galleria plaza I watched men in black movie after the mall closed didn't realize so had to walk back to the house since they turned the telephone services off and gave me a door key I didn't think to ask and rightly was in my contract from the start. They were so nice though if I didn't have anything to do two weekends she didn't charge me extra for that meal. I only ate in public on the excursions to other cities with the university along with couples and families and students from several other countries in my class like Germany and Japan. It flooded at another mall so much so they had the city to line up about 20 buses bumper to bumper and moved the water derp enough cats were floating on the sides. That was very scary not to have telephone services suddenly at the host house. Actually brought some tears on the telephone with my mother she asked if I wanted to cut trip short and leave the country but I went back to the house and slept it off until next morning breakfast with the family. I don't think I even mentioned it wanted to forget so badly and not attempt to find the vocabulary in Spanish only the 13 year old knew little English and the head of household was recovering from stroke and total loss of memory being an employee for Kodak in California. California can be stressful if not careful too.

This used to be the far away entrance of Guadalajara, now it's a nice looking monument that marks the division of Zapopan/Guadalajara, you can easily walk to monument in Sunday when the street it's closed to vehicles from 8am to 2pm.
