Me regalé un sábado en el DF para visitar la extraordinaria exposición sobre la Edad Media en España y su legado en México. Y concluí en la terraza del Hotel Majestic, contemplando el Zócalo y esta curiosa tradición de los pajaritos que te dan un papelito con tu suerte. A mí me recomendó sonreir : )

Monumento a la Madre (Monument of the Mothers) by Luis Ortiz Monasterio.
Monumento a la Madre has three main sculptures with a wall behind that looks out into a large plaza.
The three main figures include the central mother figure holding a child in her arms and two indigenous figures on either side, a woman with an ear of corn and a man writing.
In Mexico, the family is very important. Sitting at the top of that pyramid is the matriarch of the family; mom. The Monumento a la Madre (Monument of the Mothers) is meant to give the mother a fitting large scale memorial.
The first brick was laid in 1944 on mothers day and five years later it was inaugurated, 10 May, 1949.
Luis Ortiz Monasterio is one of Mexico’s most famous sculpture artists, with a career that spanned over 60 years. He took part in the muralist movements before becoming best known as a sculptor.
The artist was known for using many of the ingenious images for inspiration of his work. This was created and designed by Mexico City born artist Luis Ortiz Monasterio while the architectural side of this monument was completed by José Villagrán García.
This plaza (close to Paseo de la Reforma) is a great place to visit on a Sunday as many local artists come to sell paintings and photographs in the plaza.
During the 2017 earthquake in Mexico City this monument was damaged and was restored by 2018 when it was reopened to the public.
Another large work by Monasterio is in Chapultepec Park - Monumental Fuente de Nezahualcóyotlht.
