Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | One of Mexico City's most outstanding avenues is Paseo de la Reforma. Along its central extension stand fine examples of architecture, numerous banks and offices, ancient residential areas now transformed into fashionable venues, embassies, luxury hotels, exclusive art galleries and spectacular monuments. During the mid-19th Century, Mexico City experienced painful encounters with the outside world as it suffered invasions by both North American and French forces. During the latter intervention, a new urban model was proposed by the administration of emperor Maximilian of Hapsburg: the construction of an avenue which would communicate Mexico City, starting from the Bucareli roundabout, with Chapultepec Castle. Laid out diagonally and originally named The Emperor's Avenue, it was conceived as an ample, 12-kilometer long boulevard. Some time later, its name was changed to the more republican designation of La Reforma [mexicocity.com.mx] |
