Rotonda de los Jaliscienses Ilustres
A circular colonnaded memorial north of the cathedral that honors and holds the remains of notable people from Jalisco, with the best photo spots in the historic center around it.
The Rotonda de los Jaliscienses Ilustres was built in 1952. Seventeen Doric columns encircle the round memorial hall, which holds the remains of famous figures from Jalisco. The surrounding plaza has nearly a hundred bronze statues of notable people. From here you can photograph the full side profile of the cathedral's twin towers, and nearby are the Regional Museum and the State Congress building. Admission is free, making it a good starting point for a walking tour of the historic center.
