Plaza Juárez, Public square in central Pachuca de Soto, Mexico.
Plaza Juárez is a public square in central Pachuca de Soto featuring a rectangular layout with stone pathways and mature trees providing shade. A bronze statue of Benito Juárez sits at its center, flanked by benches for visitors to rest.
The plaza was established in the late 19th century during the mining industry expansion in Pachuca, marking the city's economic shift. It emerged as the region became a major center for mineral extraction and urban growth.
On weekends, local families gather here for traditional music performances, street food vendors, and artists displaying their work. The plaza serves as a natural meeting point where neighbors connect and local culture unfolds in everyday moments.
The location sits near the city center with convenient access by main bus routes and proximity to government buildings and shops. Visitors can easily walk around and find plenty of places to sit and rest.
The plaza features 24 lamp posts with ornate metalwork representing different periods of Mexican mining history. These decorative details tell a hidden story through their designs about the time when this place came into being.

Hidalgo state sits northeast of Mexico City, connecting volcanic landscapes with more than two thousand years of human settlement. The region extends from high-altitude pine forests to semi-arid canyons, with geological processes having created basalt columns, cave systems with thermal springs, and marble formations. Colonial monasteries from the 16th century stand alongside mining towns that emerged during the Spanish era, while the archaeological site of Tula served as the capital of the Toltec civilization that preceded the Aztec empire. Visitors can walk among the hexagonal basalt columns at Prismas Basálticos, bathe in the warm pools of Grutas de Tolantongo, or view the stone warrior statues at Atlantes de Tula. Mining towns such as Real del Monte preserve their narrow streets and historic mines, while the Aqueduct of Padre Tembleque, a 16th-century UNESCO World Heritage structure, carried water across distances through a series of tall arches. National parks like El Chico protect mountain forests, the Metztitlán Canyon Reserve hosts desert ecosystems, and Atezca Lake offers views of calm water surrounded by forested hills. The combination of natural variety and centuries of history makes Hidalgo a place where each visit reveals both geology and human adaptation to this demanding environment.
