Editing Mexican Revolution (section)

===Monuments===
The most permanent manifestations of historical are in the built landscape, especially the [[Monumento a la Revolución|Monument to the Revolution]] in Mexico City and statues and monuments to particular leaders. The Monument to the Revolution was created from the partially built ''Palacio Legislativo'', a major project of Díaz's government. The construction was abandoned with the outbreak of the Revolution in 1910. In 1933, during the [[Maximato]] of [[Plutarco Elías Calles]], the shell was re-purposed to commemorate the Revolution. Buried in the four pillars are the remains of Francisco I. Madero, Venustiano Carranza, Plutarco Elías Calles, Lázaro Cárdenas, and Francisco [Pancho] Villa.<ref>''The Green Guide: Mexico, Guatemala and Belize''.

The monument is on the site of the restaurant La Bombilla, where he was assassinated in 1928. The arm was cremated in 1989, but the monument remains.<ref>Buchenau, Jürgen, "The Arm and Body of the Revolution: Remembering Mexico's Last Caudillo, Álvaro Obregón" in Lyman L. Johnson, ed.
