Izzenhood 5 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I thought this one would be easy, but the zoom photo distorts the perspective, steepening the street and the hillside. If you zoom in, there is a clue in the foreground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mostlylost 1,581 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Correct & Correct. Pipila is the nickname of a local hero of the city of Guanajuato in Mexico. His real name was Juan José de los Reyes Martínez Amaro (1782–1863) Pípila, became famous for an act of heroism near the very beginning of the Mexican War of Independence on 28 September 1810. With a long, flat stone tied to his back to protect him from the muskets of the Spanish troops, Pípila carried tar and a torch to the door of the Alhóndiga and set it on fire. The insurgents–who far outnumbered the Spanish in the warehouse–stormed inside and killed all the soldiers and the civil Spanish refugees.

The others mansions and grounds are nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
