Mother's Monument

The monument features three stone sculptures: a man writing, a woman with corn, and a central figure of a mother holding a child.

President Manuel Avila Camacho laid the first stone in 1944, and Miguel Aleman Valdes inaugurated the monument on May 10, 1949.

The monument serves as a tribute to Mexican motherhood, with inscriptions reading 'To she who loved us before knowing us' at its base.

Located at the intersection of Sullivan, Villalongin, and Insurgentes Avenue, the monument provides access to the neighboring Art Garden.

After collapsing during the 2017 earthquake, the monument underwent reconstruction using original pieces and was reopened in November 2018.
