Plaza de la Liberación

"Plaza de la Liberación, diagonal from the Plaza de Armas, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century when it was a military training ground. Over time, it became a central gathering place for social and political events, including the proclamation of Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821. The plaza has been home to several important buildings, including the Palace of Government, which was built in the 18th century and now houses the State Government. It's a very big square surrounded by jacaranda trees, and a few fountains in the center. The pink Guadalajara sign is usually in this plaza, unless it has been removed for cleaning due to graffiti."
