Monumento a la Independencia

The Monumento a la Independencia is a tall Corinthian column that has been considered as the city’s symbol. El Ángel is a golden statue of Winged Victory which stands to honour the skulls of some of the war’s main protagonists that lie at the monument’s pedestal.

Other attractions in the Monumento a la Independencia include the four figures made in Carrara which is situated at the four corners of the column’s base which stands to represent justice, law, peace and war. You can also find a lion crowned with laurels.
