Breach in the Wall - Queretaro, Mexico - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

Around this place took place the important battle and siege of Queretaro. From Wikipedia:

(visit link)

"The Siege of Querétaro was the culminating battle of the Second French intervention in Mexico and the Second Mexican Empire. It took place between Republican and Imperial armies from 6 March to 15 May 1867.

The Republican victory at Querétaro effectively ended the war of the Second French Intervention. Maximilian I of Mexico was captured and condemned to death by a court martial on June 14. On the morning of June 19 at the Cerro de las Campanas Maximilian, alongside his generals Miguel Miramón and Tomás Mejía, was executed by firing squad."

On the spot, quite a well hidden gem for history buffs, there is a plaque with a descriptive inscription:

"Por este lugar entraron las tropas republicanas en la madrugada del 15 de Mayo de 1867 terminando asi el sitio de esta ciudad"
