Cuauhtemoc & Juarez

Arlette Go

These areas are two of the oldest neighborhoods in Mexico City. Colonia Juárez is one of the emerging neighborhoods in the city. Back in 1900 it was a very wealthy area filled with mansions and it became home to a large artistic community in the 60s. After the earthquake of 1985, the area was devastaded and lost it's popularity. Recently, the whole area is enjoying a revival where new creative minds are emerging and gorgeous places are born inside of the old structures.

Cuauhtemoc & Juarez,

Built from 1938 to 1942, this fountain is a representation of the Greek goddess Artemis. For more than 25 years, the naked sculpture wore bronze underwear because of the conservative nature of the city. It was until the Olympics in 1968 that the underwear was removed, damaging the original sculpture. The sculptor, Juan Olaguíbel, decided to cast another piece. The original one is now located in the state of Hidalgo. This fountain is a marks the boundary between Colonia Juárez and Colonia Cuauhtémoc.
