The Entrance Arch, known as Zapopan Arch, is a historical monument built with gray quarry in memory of the founders and repopulators of the city. The building dates back to 1982 to commemorate the 400 years of the founding of the city. Its architecture is colonial style and measures more than 20 meters high. It also has various sculptures, vase finials, an eagle, reliefs and different symbols that portray the history and traditions of Zapopan. It was designed by the architect Guillermo González Ibarra and his wife, the sculptor María del Carmen Rábago.
The place consists of two false semicircular arches, at the top you can see the sculpture of Diana the huntress, on the sides you can see the corn child known as Teopilzintli and the goddess Centeotl, and finally in the highest part it is shown the sculpture of an eagle. Next to the Entrance Arch there is a quarry fountain supported by two sculptures of kneeling children.
The arch was, at the time, the entrance to the city through the Paseo Teopitzintli (god of corn), paved and with green areas, which leads to the Plaza de las Américas (John Paul II), after passing through the Plaza Cívica.
A place with a lot of history surrounded by shops, restaurants, cafes and bars that are part of the area's nightlife.
