Monuments

PLAZA DEL RENACIMIENTO
This square is interesting because it has a statue which represents the renaissance of Chetumal after the pass of the hurricane “Janet”. This statue is very important for people from here because it is part of the history of Chetumal. On the other hand, it is a good place in order to skate on weekends. It is my favorite place to do that.

MONUMENTO A LA BANDERA

That monument is located in "la explanada del palacio de govierno", next to The Bay of Chetumal. It was constructed in February 24, 1943 and it was the first monument here. It has a white obelisk with a clock, and it is between two golden eagles, too. This esplanade is ideal to ride bicycle and have a good time with your family. Also, people use to go there in order to dance because some groups arrive.

MONUMENTO AL PESCADOR

It is a statue with a fountain, which is located into the Bay of Chetumal. It represents a way to remember that in Chetumal were fishermen. It has a form of a fisherman in the moment of picking up his mesh. I think this monument is really beautiful.

I like to go to Monumento al Pescador because there I can have peace and quite in order to think many things about my life. Also, I can talk with my best friend without someone who interrupts us. Furthermore, I think it is an ideal place in order to read a book, because as there is not noise you can concentrate reading.

LA FUENTE DEL MANATI

This monument was constructed so that people around the world know that Bay of Chetumal is a sacred refuge to manatees. This fountain is really interesting and original, and it is a representation of those beautiful marine animals
