Chapultepec Fountain, Mexico City

75
The Chapultepec Fountain in Mexico City’s Chapultepec Park symbolizes the Nahuatl glyph for Chapultepec, meaning ’at the grasshopper hill.’ This large urban park has deep historical significance, having served as a sacred Aztec site, a military academy, and a presidential residence. It is home to Chapultepec Castle, which was pivotal during the 1847 Battle of Chapultepec in the Mexican-American War.
