Summary:	In 1771 a major remodeling of the Central Alameda Park began in México City, in which its five fountains were added as central decorative elements that depicted GrecoRoman figures: Ganymede, Arion, Triton, Hercules, and Glaucus. The last sculpture remained standing as the central well head for only eleven years, while the other four from the well heads positioned at the four corners of the park remained in place from 1775 to 1827, when they were moved and replaced. After archaeological work conducted in February 2003, remains of the first four sculptures were found, only one of which was complete, the figure of Triton. Of the other three, only zoomorphic representations remain as icons of the mythological figures with whom they were associated. Based on archaeological evidence on the position of the sculptural remains on a wooden bed more than thirteen meters long in the vicinity of the street 16 de septiembre in Mexico City, the possible existence of one or more fragments surely anthropomorphic to be discovered in the area of the finds as part of the salvage work conducted by the Templo Mayor Urban Archaeology Program is analyzed.
