The glorieta where the road to Querétaro and the road to Los Rodriguez and Dr. Moro meet, in front of the new city administration building is now called the Glorieta de los Héroes. There are life-size statues of Ignacio Allende, Juan Aldama, Miguel Hidalgo and Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez, each a hero of the independence movement against Spain. These are elevated around the traffic circle, and in the middle, elevated higher than the rest is a statue of the Archangel Saint Michael. It was inaugurated during the festivities surrounding the birthday celebration of Ignacio Allende.
