  39 20170303_204236 D3S.jpg - Paseo de la Reforma, the wide avenue running diagonally across the heart of the city, was designed by Ferdinand von Rosenzweig (1860s) and modeled after the great boulevards of Europe. After the French intervention in Mexico which overthrew the constitutional President Benito Juarez, the newly crowned Emperor Maximilian made his mark on the conquered city by commisioning a grand avenue linking the city center with his imperial residence (Chapultepec Castle) which was then on the southwestern edge of the town. This famous monument, quite close to the Diana monument, commemorates Mexico's independence.
