The statue of Ignacio Allende, the city’s namesake and hero of the Mexican War of Independence, stands watch from an intricately carved corner alcove. The image emphasizes the exquisite Baroque craftsmanship of the stone "shell" canopy and the rhythmic patterns of the surrounding masonry. By isolating this figure against the warm tones of the colonial architecture, this image connects the city's modern-day vibrancy to the stoic figures of its revolutionary past.
