Miguel Hidalgo

On our way to the bathrooms on Olvera street we noticed a mural on the wall. I snapped a few detail shots of the art. Thanks to mozart64 for identifying this person as Miguel Hidalgo, a Catholic priest who started the independence movement that eventually led to Mexico's independence from Spanish rule in 1810.
