Indios Verdes monument, Bronze monument in Villa de Guadalupe district, Mexico City, Mexico
Two statues measuring between 3 and 4 meters high represent Aztec rulers Ahuitzotl and Itzcoatl, distinguished by their green patina acquired over time.
The sculptor Alejandro Casarín created these bronze statues for the 1889 Paris Exhibition, later placing them on Paseo de la Reforma in September 1891.
The reliefs on the base contain inscriptions in Nahuatl, connecting the monument to the indigenous heritage of pre-Hispanic Mexico through its ancient language.
The monument stands in Mestizaje Park, following multiple relocations from Reforma Avenue to La Viga Road, and later to Insurgentes Avenue.
The surrounding district adopted the name Indios Verdes due to these statues, influencing local geography and becoming a reference point for northern Mexico City.
