Cosmovitral
Located on the outskirts of Mexico City, it is a perfect place to escape and rest from the immensity of urban life. Prior to the Mexican Revolution, the space was destined to be a popular market, however, due to the armed struggle it was not inaugurated until 1933. It served as a market for approximately 40 years until it was moved to another place. The stained glass work was in charge of the artist Leopoldo Flores and currently houses a botanical garden that has species from all continents.
