Fronton detail 2008

Whether Fronton, or Basque Pelota, or handball, this is the former Mexican Fronton court. When I visited Mexico City in 2008 this facility had been closed since 1995. It is located across the street from the Monumento a la Revolucion.

Basque Pelota was a demonstration sport at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. The World Championships of Basque Pelota are held every four years.

 

This building has since been restored.
