The exedra is the most quaint, important place of the historical center of Aguascalientes. It is surrounded by a gorgeous garden and historical buildings like the exquisite, baroque cathedral, the astonishing government palace, the beautiful municipal palace and the elegant Morelos theater. It is a magic place that people usually visit on weekends and during local and national celebrations like the "Feria Nacional de San Marcos", the "Independence Day" and the "Day of the Dead". In the exedra, there are different important patriotic elements like the main column, the eagle (a representation of the national symbol of México) and the fountain (an amazing construction that commemorates to Manuel M. Ponce).
The unequaled square is located in the center of the exedra. The highfalutin, neoclassical, pink quarry construction designed by Roberto Álvarez Espinosa is divided into two sections. The first one is a splendid, semicircular wall dived just in the middle by an impressive, high column. It has approximately one hundred lovely, small pillars all over it. At the limits of the wall two gleaming lamps lucidly illuminate all the historical place. The second section is formed by two lineal walls that begin where the first section ends. Each one has approximately fifty exquisite, small columns and four quadrate pillars. At the end of the walls, two majestic lamps poetically create an incredible atmosphere.
The main monument is an impressive, colossal, ancient pillar and a statuesque eagle at the top. The solemn high, fluted column with an ionic capital is the base of the national symbol of México, a statue of an eagle finely and meticulously sculpted by Jésus F. Contreras. The illustrious eagle perched on a cactus , eating a snake is capriciously illuminated by the street lamp and the bright moon. Its wonderful, imposing wings elegantly extended represent the courage, tenacity and victory of Mexican people. In the quadrate, pink quarry base of the column, is the grave of the honorable José María Chávez, politician and governor of the Villa de Nuestra Señora de las Aguas Calientes.
The magnificent, semicircular fountain honors to Manuel M. Ponce, an important and distinguished musician and compositor of México. A peculiar, bronze plaque with his name can be easily observed, The majestic fountain is adjacent to the semicircular square. It is one of the most ancient and delightful pieces of architecture of the city. Its crystalline water clearly reflect the beautiful historical buildings, the main column, the diligent eagle, the leafy trees, the silver moon and the bright lamps. It seems like a colorful art painting. The lyrical fountain sounds creates a harmonious, relaxed environment. This is a stunning place to contemplate.
The exedra is a pleasant, magic square to visit in Aguascalientes.
