Mirador de la Flor

Mirador de la Flor is a bronze sculpture on the waterfront in Corpus Christi, Texas. The figure shows a young woman holding a microphone and wearing a leather jacket, facing the bay and surrounded by a low metal barrier.

The memorial was unveiled in 1997 to preserve the memory of a singer who had died two years earlier. A regional sculptor created the figure, which quickly became a place of remembrance.

The name honors a singer who became a voice for many people across Texas and beyond. Visitors often leave flowers and listen to her songs playing from speakers, turning the site into a living gathering place.

The sculpture stands at the corner of Shoreline and Peoples Street with a view of the water. Parking is available nearby and access is unrestricted, so visitors can stop by anytime.

A steel barrier has protected the figure from touch and damage since 2000. Thousands of visitors come here each year, often with white roses, making the memorial a place of personal gestures.
