Bicentennial Park of Tuxtla Gutiérrez
Work began on December 18, 1941, but the first stone was symbolically laid on September 14 to commemorate the 117th anniversary of the annexation of Chiapas to Mexico, concluding on September 28 of the following year and being inaugurated on February 5, 1943 by the President of the Republic, Manuel Ávila Camacho.
Here stands the Monument to the Flag, which features an enormous flagpole 25 meters high and was built in 1942, with a covering of flat reliefs of pre-Hispanic inspiration that serve as a backdrop to two female figures joining hands, representing the annexation of Chiapas to the Republic of Mexico in 1824.
The park has children's play areas, a space for public events, food vendors and restrooms. Did you know? The Bicentennial Park was given that name following the celebration of 200 years of independence in Mexico, after the old “Parque Morelos” was remodeled.
