Puerta de los Leones, Bronze gate in Chapultepec, Mexico.
The entrance features two bronze lion sculptures positioned on granite plinths, with an iron gate displaying an eagle relief in the center.
The lion sculptures were initially commissioned in 1898 for the Legislative Federal Palace but found their permanent location at Chapultepec's entrance in 1921.
The gateway connects to the Lions Garden, leading toward the Bridge of Lions and the Altar a la Patria through Calzada Juventud Heroica.
Visitors can access this entrance to Chapultepec Park from Tuesday to Sunday between 5:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with extended hours during summer.
The granite used for the monument's plinths originates from three different locations: Germany, Canada, and the Mexican state of Zacatecas.
