Flanking the Paseo de la Reforma in downtown Mexico City, El Ángel de la Independencia is column monument topped by a bronze depiction of the Greek goddess Victory, one of the most beloved symbols of the city. Originally built to commemorate Mexico's war with Spain for independence, the structure has also evolved into a mausoleum for war heroes.
In recent years, Angel has become a favorite gathering place for sporting-event and political rallies, and some engaged couples consider it good luck to stop by here before getting married (as a sign of your new independence from your parents). You can also find crowds of visitors waiting to enter the base or climb the column more than 200 steps to the top of the tower. Despite the tendency for crowds, the Angel is generally accessible with parking on nearby streets and the best part - it's free to explore.
