"In the middle of a park in a neighborhood that (while historic) most
tourists to Mexico City would not explore one can find a phantasmagoric
gazebo. Painted in an array of colors, carved with elaborate textures
and patterns, and capped by an intricate glass dome, the Kiosco Morisco
was built for the 1884 World’s Fair. Just a couple blocks away from this
odd bit of “you’ve-seen-it-now-what?” tourism, next to a transit station
that is an even more unlikely spot for casual tourists to venture, looms
the hulking concrete carapace of one of the world’s most spectacular
libraries."
Via Frederick Wilson II.
