In English Historic Zone of the Military – at least that’s what I assume – is a kind of park with monuments and museums. You get here partly what you expect and partly not. The Zona Histórica de los Fuertes is basically a park with museums on Puebla’s military history and also has a few statues related to the subject. It’s not necessarily everyone’s thing, but why not.
The thing that attracted me personally is the viewpoint. I love! Viewpoints and absolutely never miss one, if there is one. This one here – the one in Puebla – is admittedly not super cool, but I still think it’s worth a visit. You have a beautiful view of Puebla from a kind of elegantly curved platform – yes I said curved, it’s not a ‘usual’ viewpoint – and then you can see if you want to look at one of the military sculptures. I was at a huge Mexico flag “waving in the wind” made of stone and a…. To be honest, I haven’t the slightest clue how to describe this. It was like a kind of plateau, with several arms sticking out of the water and protecting the surroundings with cannons, while a man riding a horse is enthroned on the front one. Standing out in front on the ground are normal-sized metal men. And these plateau arms etc all stand in what I personally assume is a large and shallow waterbed/fountain. So there are water fountains, but I still wouldn’t call it a fountain. Not the burner, but if you’re there anyway, why not. 😀
Go or not go? I think it’s worth it for the viewpoint. I wouldn’t include it in the tops, but it would be one of the first things I would do if I could manage. 😊
