Description
El Angel de la independencia or more commonly shortened to just El Angel is one of the iconic landmarks of Mexico City. The golden statue of the Greek god Victory stands high above the constant traffic passing along the Paseo de la Reforma. The monument celebrates the struggle for independence from Spain. The lower levels of the monument have been transformed into a mausoleum with key figures from the independence movement buried below.
The El Angel is a focal point for Mexico City with national celebrations and protests centered around the patriotic monument. A vintage Volkswagen beetle parks in the foreground, a very common sight in Mexico. In the background stands the HSBC financial building.
