Fuente de la Diana Cazadora (Diana the Huntress Fountain(

The Fuente de la Diana Cazadora stands proudly in the median of Paseo de la Reforma, one of Mexico City’s grandest boulevards. This striking Art Deco fountain features a bronze statue of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, poised with her bow and arrow. The sculpture was created by artist Juan Fernando Olaguíbel and originally installed in 1942. The fountain’s dynamic composition captures Diana in mid-stride, with water spraying from the base, creating a refreshing spectacle amid the bustling city. Surrounded by towering office buildings and hotels, the fountain serves as a popular meeting point and a symbol of modern Mexico City. At night, the statue is illuminated, adding to its dramatic presence. Visitors often stop to photograph the fountain and admire its graceful lines, while locals use the area as a reference point for navigating the city.

Een stukje geschiedenis

The fountain was inaugurated in 1942 as part of the urban beautification of Paseo de la Reforma. The statue originally depicted a nude Diana, which sparked controversy; a bronze loincloth was later added to cover her modesty, though it was removed during restorations in the 1990s.
