1. La Unión Garden Marker
El terreno que ocupa el actual Jardín de la Unión formaba parte del gran atrio de la Iglesia de San Diego.
Hacia 1861-1862, al aplicarse las Leyes de Reforma, el gran complejo religioso que formaban el convento de San Pedro de Alcántara, la Iglesia de San Diego y la Iglesia de la Tercera Orden, es reestructurado para ampliar las vialidades de sus calles circundantes.
La Iglesia de la Tercera Orden desaparece para formar las plazas de la Constancia y de Zaragoza, mientras que el atrio de San Diego es recortado y elevado en su nivel para dar lugar a un jardín de estilo francés.
Para 1866, según se puede observar en el plano de Lucio Marmolejo, se encuentra perfectamente estructurado el actual Jardín de la Unión, colocándose en ese mismo año las elegantes balaustradas de fierro que actualmente ostenta.

By 1866, as the plan of Lucio Marmolejo shows, the present La Unión Garden was perfectly structured. The elegant iron balustrades it has at present were placed the same year.
