Located
just few blocks to the stroll "Olas Altas" in the area that is known
as the historical center of Mazatlán, a calm rises and the pleasant
square takes by name the Lions Square.
This is the second
oldest square of the city and in this one was located the first
formal market; it had a statue of fatherland in the center until
the year of 1899; this one was replaced by a kiosk, same that in
the year of 1970 was taken off to be constructed the bookstores.
Always it has
been identified as the perfect place for the rest and the study,
this is because threre are buildings in the center of the square
that gives shelter to two Libraries, one of them is the Municipal
Library and the other is the Benjamin Franklin Library; Those are
important points of meeting of all those students and professional
who want to successfully obtain information for theirs tasks and
projects.
It is interesting
to mention that in the main entrance of the Municipal Library there
are two stone figures of lions with a golden color, this is the
main reason for which the town has granted to it its actual name.
Surrounded by
trees, palms and forged iron white seats breathe a tranquillity
air that it invites to the rest, because of which is very common
to find a enamored or solitary people with singular delight enjoy
the fresh air and silence until a point that they are let captivate
by the calm that prevails in the atmosphere.
