Glorieta de los Caballos at Night

A nighttime view of the Horses Roundabout reveals Juan Carlos Canfield’s 1980 sculpture Control de fuerzas (Control of Forces ) glowing at its center. The bronze horses and struggling figures—Canfield’s first major public work for the capital—symbolize the balance between human will and untamed natural energy. Against the quiet streets of Polanco, their tense, spiraling motion turns the fountain into a vivid emblem of Mexico City’s constant negotiation between order and dynamism.
