Mirador de la Flor

Mirador de la Flor is the bayfront memorial to Selena, the Tejano singer whose death in 1995 still feels present in Corpus Christi. The bronze statue faces the water, with a white rose and a small display that draws fans from across Texas and far beyond.

It is not a large sight, but it is emotionally important. Come respectfully, linger a few minutes, and then walk the seawall to understand how central the bayfront is to the city.
