CultureDiana the Huntress Ixtapan de la Sal

In the center of the square of the Boulevard A. San Roman and Juarez Avenue, opposite the Ixtapan de la Sal tourist market, stands a tall column topped by a bronze sculpture depicting a nude woman, an athletic figure, carrying a bow in her left hand, and reloading her left shin on a rock: it’s the legendary Diana the Huntress, a replica of the work located at the roundabout of the Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City, but with the difference that it does not have a loincloth. The title of the original work located in the capital city of the country was the Huntress of the North Star as the Roman goddess of the hunt; instead of hunting animals with her bow in the woods she points her bow to the North Star.
