It pays homage to the memory of the people of Jalisco who have transcended through the history of Mexico. The monument built in 1952, by the architect Vicente Mendiola, under the initiative of the then governor of the state Jos\u00e9 de Jes\u00fas Gonz\u00e1lez Gallo, consists of seventeen fluted columns without base or capital and that support a ring of quarry that has engraved in one of its sides the legend \u201cJalisco to its enlightened sons\u201d; In the center of the monument there is a cauldron, in addition in the rotunda, there are ninety-eight niches to house the bodies of the most illustrious men and around it there are also twenty-two statues of illustrious Jalisco citizens.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=\u201d0\u2033 override_padding=\u201dyes\u201d h_padding=\u201d2\u2033 top_padding=\u201d3\u2033 bottom_padding=\u201d3\u2033 overlay_alpha=\u201d100\u2033 gutter_size=\u201d3\u2033 shift_y=\u201d0\u2033 row_height_use_pixel=\u201d\u201d][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=\u201dyes\u201d align_horizontal=\u201dalign_center\u201d gutter_size=\u201d4\u2033 font_family=\u201dfont-136269\u2033 overlay_alpha=\u201d50\u2033 shift_x=\u201d0\u2033 shift_y=\u201d0\u2033 shift_y_down=\u201d0\u2033 z_index=\u201d0\u2033 medium_width=\u201d0\u2033 mobile_width=\u201d0\u2033 zoom_width=\u201d0\u2033 zoom_height=\u201d0\u2033 column_width_pixel=\u201d800\u2033 uncode_shortcode_id=\u201d734696\u2033][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=\u201d0\u2033 overlay_alpha=\u201d50\u2033 gutter_size=\u201d3\u2033 shift_y=\u201d0\u2033 row_height_use_pixel=\u201d\u201d limit_content=\u201d\u201d][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=\u201d100\u2033 position_horizontal=\u201dleft\u201d align_horizontal=\u201dalign_center\u201d gutter_size=\u201d3\u2033 overlay_alpha=\u201d50\u2033 shift_x=\u201d0\u2033 shift_y=\u201d0\u2033 medium_width=\u201d0\u2033 zoom_width=\u201d0\u2033 zoom_height=\u201d0\u2033 width=\u201d1\/1\u2033][vc_custom_heading text_font=\u201dfont-136269\u2033 text_size=\u201dfontsize-338686\u2033 text_uppercase=\u201d\u201d uncode_shortcode_id=\u201d170409\u2033]<\/p>\n

They came up with the idea of creating a cross of plazas in the historic center. From the already existing Plaza de Armas, three more would be created, the Plaza de los Laureles, the Plaza de la Liberaci\u00f3n and the Plaza de los Hombres Ilustres. At the beginning it was named as the \u201cRotonda de los Hombres Ilustres\u201d, since it only housed the remains of men until the incursion of Irene Robledo and Rita Perez Jimenez, which changed its name to the current \u201cRotonda de los Jaliscienses Ilustres\u201d. For its construction, a Post Office of Mexico and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Solitude had to be demolished, projecting it as a building that would end in the form of a dome and with a mural by Jose Clemente Orozco, but the project was never finished due to the end of the governmental period. The construction of the rotunda was in charge of the engineer Miguel Aldana Mijares, who collaborated in finishing and refining Mendiola\u2019s project.<\/p>\n
The monument contains a total of 98 urns to house the remains of outstanding personalities in art, literature, science and city improvement work.<\/p>\n
