Morisco Kiosk
The Morisco Kiosk (Local: Kiosco Morisco, English: Moorish Kiosk) is a
neo-Mudejar architectural style that was prevailing in Spain in the 19th century. It is completely made of wrought iron with a glass cupola dome at the top. The kiosk is made of panels that can be disassembled and moved if needed.[1][2]
History
The Morisco Kiosk was built by José Ramón Ibarrola as the Mexico Pavilion at the 1884
Alameda Central in Mexico City. During the Centennial of the Mexican War of Independence it was decided to be moved to make way for the Benito Juárez Monument. Colonia residents petitioned for it to be moved to its present location.[1][2]
