Paseo de la Reforma
Encyclopedia
Paseo de la Reforma is a wide avenue that runs in a straight line, cutting diagonally across Mexico City
. It was designed by Ferdinand von Rosenzweig
in the 1860s and modeled after the great boulevards
of Europe
, such as Vienna's Ringstrasse
or the Champs-Élysées
in Paris
. It was Emperor Maximilian
s wish to directly link his Imperial residence, Chapultepec Castle, with the National Palace
in the city center. It runs from Chapultepec Park
, passes alongside the Torre Mayor
, and continues through the Zona Rosa
and then to the Zócalo by Juárez Avenue and Francisco I. Madero Street.
More modern extensions continue the avenue at an angle to the old Paseo. To the northeast it continues towards Tlatelolco
then it is divided into Calzada de Guadalupe and Calzada de los Misterios and reaches La Villa. To the west, it crosses Chapultepec park
and passes south of Polanco
on its way through the exclusive neighborhood of Las Lomas
and then into Cuajimalpa
and Santa Fe
on the outskirts of the city, although when it reaches this point it is more a highway than a promenade.
and the history of the Americas
are situated on and along Reforma. Honored people include the Niños Héroes
– the Heroic Cadets of the Battle of Chapultepec
– with a particularly grand monument in the entrance of Chapultepec Park, Cuauhtémoc
, Simón Bolívar
, José de San Martín
and Christopher Columbus
. There is also a fountain with sculptures that conmemorate the nationalization of Mexico's oil
reserves and industry in 1938, and a fountain that includes a statue featuring the Roman
goddess Diana originally named The Arrow Thrower of the North Star.
One of the most famous monuments of the Paseo is El Ángel de la Independencia – a tall column with a gilded statue of a Winged Victory
(that bears resemblance with an angel, therefore its common name) on its top and many marble statues on its base depicting the heroes of the Mexican War of Independence
, built to commemorate the centennial of Mexico's independence in 1910. The base contains the tombs of several key figures in Mexico's war of independence
.
Near the central section of Reforma, across from the Alameda, is the Monument to the Revolution. This is an enormous dome supported by four arches. It was originally planned, by Porfirio Díaz
, to be a part of a new parliament building, but it never was completed because of the start of the Mexican Revolution
.
After Díaz's overthrow it became a monument to the revolution that deposed him. The remains of Francisco I. Madero
and several other heroes of the Mexican Revolution
are buried here.
's regime, Paseo de la Reforma became very popular among elite families as a residential area. Few of these original houses built in different European architectural styles remain and office blocks have been built on their place over the years. Although there is no single block that has kept its former architecture, a couple of scattered buildings show the opulence enjoyed by the elites during Porfirio Díaz' regime.
Although most of the modern buildings are unremarkable, the Art Deco
Loteria Nacional building and the functionalist
IMSS
building are an exception. Today Paseo de la Reforma houses offices ranging from the Mexican Federal Government to Banks and brokerage houses.
The newer buildings show a mix of contemporary styles and the commonly used style for office buildings.
(Reforma 305), Colombia
(379), Japan
(395), the European Union
(1675), and Peru
(2601). The Mexican stock exchange building (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores
) and the former trading floor are on Reforma, as are several museums which are part of Chapultepec Park, including the National Museum of Anthropology
, the Modern Art Museum
, and the Tamayo Contemporary Art Museum
. Another important highlight is the Chapultepec Zoo
which is home to more than 2000 animals from more 200 different species and the Castle of Chapultepec, which currently house the Museo Nacional de Historia
.
Today, the Reforma is filled with tourist attractions, luxurious restaurants and hotels, office buildings, public art exhibitions, and new construction.
Reforma has become a traditional place for the Mexicans to celebrate or protest. Most protest rallies commonly go along Reforma from El Ángel
to the Zócalo or from the Zócalo to Los Pinos
. Many parades also make their way through Reforma. El Ángel
roundabout is a traditional place for the celebration of the victories of the national football team
, mostly during World Cups
.
Since 2003, Mexico City's government started a renewal program for Paseo de la Reforma. It included the maintenance of the existent gardens and the creation of new ones, the intensive cleaning and sweeping of streets and sidewalks, the construction of new pink quarry sidewalks and benches, the creation of access bays in the Zoo, lake and Modern Art Museum for touristic and school buses, the installation of new lighting, the moving of the monument to Cuauhtémoc to the crossing of Insurgentes Avenue
and Paseo de la Reforma, the construction of prism shaped concrete structures in the median which also have plants and flowers, the promotion of Reforma as a cultural walk organizing different expositions along the avenue sidewalks, and the maintenance of the monuments, sculptures and fountains. Also, a touristic route that goes from Chapultepec Park to the Historic Center along Reforma was established by a double deck bus called Turibus.
With the renewal project, new life has come to the avenue. It has become a main attraction of the city and the most expensive one to build on. However, after many of Mexico City's banks and business left Paseo de la Reforma for the Santa Fe
business district in the last decade, the boulevard has been the center of a real state renaissance. Remarkable buildings built (or under construction) in recent years are Torre Mayor
, Torre HSBC in the Ángel roundabout, Torre Libertad with St. Regis Hotel
in the Diana fountain roundabout, and Reforma 222
designed by famous Mexican architect Teodoro González de León
at Reforma and Havre St. Recently announced mix-used developments include a Ritz-Carlton Hotel & Residences and a Park Hyatt Hotel & Residences, scheduled to open between 2009 and 2010.
