Monumento a los Niños Heroes
Description
Situated at the main entrance to the Bosque de Chapultepec , this monument was designed as a semicircle of six columns, each representing the brave young cadets who died during the invasion of US troops in 1847. The youthful cadets were stationed at the Castillo de Chapultepec , which served at that time as the national military academy and died in one of the most tragic and emotional moments in Mexican history.
Beautiful location, moving history, very artfully done monument to the brave children who gave their lives during the war with the US. Spend time in the Bosque de Chapultapec as well, just beautiful!
