The San Jacinto Plaza situated in the San Angel district is the town square centre which has a number of arts and crafts shopping centres, a park, restaurants and more.
The Plaza was known by various names in the past such as La Placita, La Plaza and La Plaza de los Largartos or the Plaza of the alligators. This is because previously this place had trees, fountains and alligators in the pond built around the fountain in Plaza.
There were 7 reptiles in the pond which were a major attraction with visitors coming to this place.
The alligators have now been moved to the El Paso Zoo as many people harmed some of these reptiles.
The San Jacinto Plaza was also popular for a statue known as ‘The Boy with the Leaking Boot’ which stood here for fifty years until it was moved to the City Hall.
