The iconic Los Jarochos fountain, which had been missing from the Plaza de la República in Veracruz for several years, has been located in a municipal warehouse belonging to the City Council’s Public Spaces department.

Following the discovery, the municipal government, led by Mayor Rosa María Hernández Espejo, initiated a technical evaluation of the bronze sculptures, specifically the pieces titled ‘Los Pescadores’ and ‘La Pareja de Jarochos’. Specialists are assessing the condition of the artwork to determine necessary restoration and maintenance.

The City Council plans to invite citizens to propose locations for the permanent reinstallation of the sculptures once the technical analysis is complete. This recovery is part of a broader effort by the Department of Public Spaces to manage and conserve local monuments, which includes an expanded municipal inventory of 43 pieces in the Historic Center and surrounding areas.
