Here we have a famous landmark of the city, El Pípila.
You’ll see more about the big September 28 celebration and see photos of the parade. Here is a short story from LP:
‘…Then on September 28, 1810 a young miner named Juan José Martínez (aka El Pípila), under orders from Hidalgo, tied a stone slab to his back and, thus protected from Spanish bullets, set the gates ablaze. While the Spaniards choked on smoke, the rebels moved in and took the Alhóndiga, killing most of those inside.’
