Glorieta de la Palma (lit. transl. Palm roundabout) is a roundabout in Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City, that connects Paseo de la Reforma with Río Rhin Street and Niza Street. It is known for its tall palm tree that remained in the middle for a century. As of June 2024, the roundabout is the only one along Reforma that has never had a monument.[1] The building of the Mexican Stock Exchange is at the roundabout, opposite the Zona Rosa.[2] The area is serviced by the city's Metrobús system at El Ahuehuete BRT stop (formerly "La Palma"), whose pictogram formerly featured the palm tree.[3]
The palm died in 2022 due to pathogens. After a non-binding poll, a Taxodium mucronatum (otherwise known as Montezuma cypress or ahuehuete) was placed in June 2022 and the city government officially renamed the traffic circle the Glorieta del Ahuehuete (Ahuehuete roundabout). At the same time, activists placed an anti-monument in memory of the more than 100,000 disappeared people in the country and symbolically renamed the place the Glorieta de las y los Desaparecidos (Roundabout of the Disappeared). The tree, however, had an unfavorable adaptation and eight months later was removed for rehabilitation and replaced with a similar tree.
