Plaza de Loreto

对不起,此内容只适用于美式英文墨西哥西班牙文

Plaza de loretoTogether with the Plaza de El Carmen and the Plaza de San Sebastián, today known as Torres Quintero, the Plaza de Loreto is a popular recreational space for the neighborhood of Atzacoalco. These were the last squares of the city to the north and east on the old map. The space received its current name in the 18th century, when the Jesuit Juan Bautista Zappa arrived at the Colegio de San Pedro y San Pablo and introduced devotion to the Virgin of Loreto. The temple then changed its name from San Gregorio to Loreto, and the new temple was built with the Virgin of Loreto as its patron saint. The Plaza received the same name and is still thus known today. We can admire a square with several old buildings, to the north the temple of Loreto, to the east the porter's lodge and the two facades of the temple and ex-convent of the Discalced Carmelite nuns of Santa Teresa "La Nueva." These differentiate it from "La Antigua," (today, the ExTeresa Arte museum). To the south are the portals of the Monte Sinai Synagogue and the Historic Synagogue of the Azhkenazim community. The Viceroy Bucareli created a "new promenade" to the west of the capital at the end of the 18th century. That avenue closed the hamlet of the Moyotlan neighborhood and was the limit of the city together just past the Ciudadela and the Garita de Belen. It had three traffic circles each with a splendid fountain. Two of them were lost to history, but the third survives in thePlaza de Loreto. The enormous bronze cup of the fountain was cast at the end of the 18th century and still serves the neighborhood.
