Fuente de los Niños Miones, Bronze fountain in Plaza Tapatía, Guadalajara, Mexico

Description

The Fountain of the Children is a bronze water feature in Plaza Tapatía with multiple child sculptures created by artist Miguel Miramontes. Water flows through these playful figures positioned throughout the central plaza.

History

The artwork was installed in 1982 and experienced two theft incidents, with both stolen pieces recovered through community effort and law enforcement. These events remain part of the monument's story.

Culture

The fountain displays playful child figures that represent innocence and childhood through public art. These sculptures have become part of the visual identity of the central plaza and are noticed by visitors and residents alike.

Practical

The fountain sits in the heart of downtown and is accessible via multiple public transportation routes that lead directly to the central plaza. Being located in a busy zone means visitors can reach it without long walks from most hotels and attractions.

Did you know?

The fountain is known locally by a playful name that refers to the natural poses of the child figures and is used by both residents and visitors. This nickname shows how public art develops its own personality in everyday conversation.
