Horses RoundaboutGlorieta de los Caballos

Glorieta de los Caballos is a Polanco roundabout whose identity is defined by Juan Carlos Canfield’s 1980 bronze fountain Control de fuerzas (Control of Forces). Straining figures and rearing horses spiral in a tense knot of motion, turning a traffic circle into a small civic stage where Mexico City’s drive for modern order meets the stubborn force of nature and desire. Framed by tree-lined avenues and contemporary buildings, it has become a quiet local landmark—less a destination than a daily symbol of balance, power, and restraint.
