Cerro de las Campanas

Cerro de las Campanas
Esta mínima elevación fue escenario de un momento de transformación para la República Mexicana, cuando en acatamiento de la resolución del Tribunal de guerra, el 19 de junio de 1867 cayeron fusilados en este lugar el malogrado emperador Maximiliano de Habsburgo y sus generales Miguel Miramón y Tomás Mejía, sellándose así el triunfo de la República y la determinación soberana de nuestro país. En 1900 el gobierno de Austria mandó edificar una capilla en lugar de los hechos, y en 1967, el gobierno mexicano erigió la monumental estatua del presidente Benito Juárez. El Cerro de las Campanas es hoy asiento de la Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro y espacio de recreación y esparcimiento. English:
Hill of the Bells
This small hill was the scene of a defining moment for the Republic of Mexico. Here, on June 19, 1867, the verdict of the War Tribunal was carried out when Maximilian of Hapsburg together with his generals Miguel Miramon and Tomas Mejia were executed by a firing squad. This act sealed the triumph of the Republic and returned sovereignty of Mexico. In 1900 the government of Austria asked permission to build a chapel on this spot. In 1967 the government of Mexico erected a monumental statue of President Benito Juarez. The Hill of
the Bells now contains the Autonomous University de Queretaro, a museum and an area of recreation and relaxation.
