Rotonda De Los Jalicienses Ilustres

Rotonda De Los Jalicienses Ilustres

The illustrious Jaliscans’ Rotunda is a small park featuring statues of the state’s favorite sons, the remains of whom are interred therein. It’s indicative of the character of Guadalajara and Jalisco that among the honored are fifteen men of arts, literature and science, but only two from the military. Originally, the block was occupied by a seminary, and later by a church jail in which errant priests where punished.
