Zaragoza Birthplace State Historic Site

The Zaragoza Birthplace State Historic Park is situated next to Presidio La Bahía in Goliad State Park and Historic Site, in Goliad County, Texas. This location is significant as it is the birthplace of Ignacio Zaragoza, a hero of the Battle of Puebla, which is commemorated each year by Cinco de Mayo celebrations.

Amphitheater and Bronze Statue

The grounds of the Zaragoza Birthplace State Historic Park also feature an amphitheater and a bronze statue of Ignacio Zaragoza. The statue, donated by the people of Puebla, Mexico, stands 10 feet tall and was unveiled on September 13, 1980.
