Secretary of Foreign Relations

In where today is the Plazuela Hidalgo was born the first market of the city. It reflected the birth of Pacific trade, but also heralded the conflicts in urban planning of a city that frequently restarted. By mid-19th and during the French invasion, it had become an inconvenience to urban growth. Now, it houses the municipal library and the SRE office.

Plaza de la Republica

The Republic Square is the first quadrant of the city, but it was, during the second half of the 19th century, where the city market operated. The transformation of the market is due to the new historical and political reality of Mazatlan at the end of the century, in addition to the consequences of the yellow fever epidemic. The result is embodied in the square, and its place in the identity of the Mazatlecos.
