Parque de la Bombilla

Parque de la Bombilla, Urban park in San Ángel district, Mexico City, Mexico.

Parque de la Bombilla is a public park in San Ángel, Mexico City, built around the Monument to Álvaro Obregón. The monument, an Art Deco work by architect Enrique Aragón Echegaray with stone and granite statues by Ignacio Asúnsolo, stands on a pyramidal base over a circular plinth, with a large reflecting pool in front and its entrance on the west side.

The park occupies the site of the former La Bombilla restaurant, where presidential candidate Álvaro Obregón was killed in 1928 by José de León Toral. A monument was later erected to mark this pivotal moment in Mexico's history.

The monument's exterior statues in quarry stone and granite, plus the bronze pieces inside, were made by sculptor Ignacio Asúnsolo, a leading figure of Mexican nationalist sculpture. The entrance is on the west side of the structure.

The monument stands at the park's north end, with its entrance on the west side; the main fountain and plaza lie in front of it. The grounds are open and level, with pedestrian crossings and walkways added in the 2015 renovation. Metrobús La Bombilla and Metro Miguel Ángel de Quevedo are the nearest stations.

The monument's interior follows an octagonal plan, and on its lower level a jar once held Obregón's right arm, which he lost fighting Villa near León, preserved in formaldehyde. The building was designed by architect Enrique Aragón Echegaray, with stone and bronze sculpture by Ignacio Asúnsolo.
