The Plazuela República (Plaza Revolución) is a public park in Mazatlán, Mexico. It sits next to the municipal palace and in front of the Cathedral.
History[edit]
Originally it was the main square of the port. It was the home of the municipal market from 1865 to 1900. The Pino Suaréz Market later replaced it.[1] The square was built in 1870 on an esplanade surrounded by commercial posts. In 1909, the German Melchers family donated a kiosk placed in the center. Its style is French with a Gothic tendency to balance the Cathedral. The facade hosts a plaque with the name "Plaza Revolución", referring to the plaza's reconstruction from 1945 to 1947. The base was used as a cafeteria from 1946, although it no longer provides service. Currently the square is a daily meeting place for families, as well as the place of the cry for independence every September 16,[2] accompanied by a festival.[3] On Sundays, a Municipal Hour is celebrated in which artists perform.[4] On January 9, 2016, this celebration returned to the square after a 6 year absence.[5]
