Cerro de las Campanas

The Hill of Bells in its original state c. 1885–1899, with the first monument to the execution of Emperor Maximilian and his generals

The Cerro de las Campanas ("Hill of the Bells") is a hill and national park located in Querétaro City, Mexico. It is most noteworthy as the place where Emperor Maximilian I and Generals Miguel Miramón and Tomás Mejía were executed, definitively ending the Second Mexican Empire and French intervention in Mexico. The mountain gets its name from rocks that make bell sounds when struck.[1]
