The Huntress Diana Fountain (Spanish: Fuente de la Diana Cazadora) stands as a monumental sculptural landmark situated within the roundabout at the intersection of Paseo de la Reforma and Río Misisipí and Sevilla streets. Positioned on the border of the Colonia Cuauhtémoc and Colonia Juárez neighborhoods in Mexico City, this fountain serves as a focal point within the urban fabric of the metropolis. Designed by the Italian architect and sculptor Enrique Alciati, the fountain was unveiled in 1942 and has since become an enduring symbol of Mexico City's cultural heritage and urban landscape. The centerpiece of the fountain is a striking bronze statue depicting Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, poised atop a stone pedestal adorned with decorative reliefs and motifs.^[1] Adjacent to the Huntress Diana Fountain, several landmarks bear homage to its iconic presence within Mexico City's urban landscape. Among these notable sites are the Cine Diana (Diana Cinema) and two prominent skyscrapers: the Corporativo Reforma Diana (also known as Torre Reforma Diana) and Torre Diana.
