Jardín de San Marcos, Public garden in Barrio de San Marcos, Mexico

Jardín de San Marcos is a public garden in the San Marcos neighborhood of Aguascalientes featuring a central cast iron kiosk, four corner fountains, and bronze sculptures throughout. Iron benches line the walkways, with four main entrances aligned to the cardinal directions.

On May 3, 1842, land was granted to create a park for the residents of San Marcos, with a central roundabout, a flagpole and benches among rose bushes. That same year Governor Nicolás Condell promoted the neoclassical balustrade of pink quarry with four entrances facing the cardinal points. In 1887 four corner fountains and ninety iron benches were added, and the cast iron kiosk opened in 1891.

The garden gives its name to the Feria Nacional de San Marcos, held mainly in and around it. The bronze figures along the paths, from flower sellers and playing children to galleros, boleros and bullfighters, were installed in the 2009 remodeling; some draw on works by Aguascalientes artists Saturnino Herrán and José Guadalupe Posada.

The garden is straightforward to navigate with its four clear entrances and defined pathways that help visitors get oriented easily. Seating is available throughout the space, making it comfortable to pause and take in the surroundings.

Architect Mario Pani built an exact replica of this garden, the Jardín Santiago, in the Nonoalco Tlatelolco urban complex in Mexico City. Because of their accuracy the two are known as Los Jardines Gemelos, the Twin Gardens. Pani's father, Arturo Pani Arteaga, was born in Aguascalientes.
