miradors

Miradors are small, gazebo-like structures found along the Corpus Christi bayfront. Inside each is found a small plaque commemorating some aspect of the city's or of the area's history. They are delightful places to relax in the shade while looking out over the city's downtown waterfront and Corpus Christi Bay. The name is from Spanish verb "mirar" meaning to look and means "one who looks or watches".

Mirador de la Flor
A memorial to Selena Quintanilla Perez - better known simply as "Selena" - who was murdered in 1995 by her deranged fan club president and boutique manager. Includes a life-size bronze statue of the singer.
