Coyoacán'daki parklar ve bahçeler

Parks and Gardens

Coyoacán’s green spaces range from 16th-century colonial plazas to specialized ecological reserves. This collection includes the Japanese-style architecture of Parque Masayoshi Ohira, the Art Deco monument at Parque de la Bombilla, and the Augustinian monastery grounds of Culhuacán. These sites preserve regional history through volcanic rock landscapes, traditional fountains, and preserved mural art while providing recreational areas for climbing, walking, and local cultural events.
