Cerro de las Campanas, National park and historical site in Querétaro, Mexico.
The 53-meter-wide esplanade at the summit features a 13-meter-tall statue of President Benito Juárez facing east toward Europe.
The hill gained significance as the location where Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg and two generals were executed on June 19, 1867, marking the end of French intervention.
The Magic of the Past Museum within the park presents Querétaro's history from pre-Hispanic times through interactive exhibits and educational displays.
The park operates from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with museum admission costing 15 pesos and free entry for students and seniors.
The hill's name originates from stones that produced bell-like sounds when struck together, containing a mixture of bronze, silver, copper, and antimony.
