Monumento a Los Ni帽os H茅roes

Polanco & Bosque de Chapultepec

LoginSave

The six marble columns marking Chapultepec park's eastern entrance commemorate the 鈥榖oy heroes,鈥 six young cadets who perished in battle. On September 13, 1847, 8000 US troops stormed Castillo de Chapultepec, which then housed the national military academy. Mexican General Santa Anna retreated before the onslaught, but the youths, aged 13 to 20, chose to defend the castle. Legend has it one of them, Juan Escutia, wrapped himself in a Mexican flag and leaped to his death rather than surrender.

The event is commemorated each year on D铆a de los Ni帽os H茅roes, 13 September.
