At the beginning of the eighties was built a large plaza for the Tapatios to allow them walk quietly through the historical centre. The Plaza Tapatia covers from the Degollado theater until The Instituto Cabañas.
The Plaza Tapatia has an area of 70 thousand square meters and includes at the same time, several plazas: Los Fundadores, Degollado, Morelos, Lopez Portillo and Webe as well as the so-called central esplanade and the Paseo del Hospicio. It also has two paths, one behind the Degollado´s and the other in one of its sides on the Morelos street. This work was created by Juan Gil Elizondo.
