Zaragoza Birthplace State Historic Site, Historic house museum in Goliad, Texas, United States.
The birthplace site includes a reconstructed house, an amphitheater, and a 10-foot bronze statue of General Ignacio Zaragoza in front of the building.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department reconstructed the original house where Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza was born in 1829 when the area belonged to Mexico.
The site commemorates General Zaragoza, who commanded Mexican forces in their victory against French troops at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
Located one mile south of Goliad State Park entrance, the site welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM with an entrance fee of $4.
