本尼托·华雷斯半圆形建筑是新古典主义纪念碑,是阿拉米达中央公园不可忽视的地标。
这座半圆形建筑采用了浓厚的希腊风格,有12根多立克式柱子支撑着同一风格的横梁和楣结构。中央的雕塑代表着本尼托·华雷斯,他的头顶是象征祖国的花冠。第二个寓言代表“法律”,手举火炬高举在他的头上。在下方,共和国的鹰展开翅膀,踏在新阿兹特克的花纹上,底座上躺着两只狮子。
中央柱上的饰章上写着:“致可赞美的本尼托·华雷斯,祖国”。
这座纪念碑的建造始于1906年,目的是庆祝华雷斯诞辰100周年。工程师们由波菲里奥·迪亚兹亲自指派,雕塑家则是意大利艺术家亚历山德罗·拉泽里尼。
这座本尼托·瓦雷斯半圆形纪念碑于1910年9月18日落成,并长期用于举办国家彩票抽奖活动。莫里斯科售货亭也座落于此,曾在海外辗转数年,重新回到墨西哥。当国家彩票机构迁移至此,这座纪念碑成为了数以千计的观光景点。
东行的波兰柯观光巴士,停靠在贝尼托·瓦雷斯半圆形纪念碑对面的胡安·胡亚雷斯大街,位在科尔普斯·克里斯蒂教堂前方。而西行的巴士会停在阿拉莫达中央大道以北,在弗朗茨·迈耶博物馆外的伊达尔戈大道上。从一侧到另一侧的步行大约需要五分钟。
