Santa María la Redonda is a boulevard in colonia Guerrero of the Cuauhtémoc borough of the Mexican Federal District.
During the 1920s and 1930s, the boulevard was home to numerous carpa ("tent") theaters.
During the 19th century, the current colonia of Santa María la Ribera was known as Santa María la Redonda. It is an area whose economic fortunes have experienced an ebb and flow over the last few hundred years. Originally it was a humbler area outside of the more affluent Centro where, as in most colonial Latin American cities, the wealthy and influential tended to congregate. Then in the late Porfiriato, as other bourgeois areas sprang to life in far-flung parts of the city (Polanco, Lomas de Chapultepec, Coyoacán) the status of Santa María la Ribera (Redonda) also experienced an elevation in status. Larger homes were built and it generally came to be considered "fresa" (strawberry - meaning "snob") or middle class. Recent years have not been as kind to the area. Crime is a problem (it is popularly referred to as Santa María la Ratera!) though not as much in other colonias such as Tepito.
