The Fountain Of The Coyotes. The Jardin Centenario. Coyoacan. Mexico City. Stock Photo

_The Jardín Centenario is the park at the very center of the Centro de Coyoacán. For centuries, it was the atrium of the San Juan Bautista church and monastery. This is noted in the gates at the entrance to the former atrium, which are at the head of what is today the Avenida Francisco Sosa. This was once known as the San Ángel Road, for it ran directly to San Ángel.The park is today far better known for the fountain of the coyotes by sculptor Gabriel Ponzanelli (1942-2019). This is particularly lively, and has come to serve as a self-identifying symbol for the entire community.
