Monument to Caupolicán, Memorial statue in Temuco, Chile
The bronze Monument to Caupolicán stands tall in central Temuco, depicting the Mapuche leader holding a spear in a vigilant position.
The memorial commemorates the Mapuche chief Caupolicán, who led indigenous resistance against Spanish colonization during the 16th century in southern Chile.
The monument represents the enduring presence of Mapuche heritage in Chilean society through its portrayal of traditional warrior attributes and ceremonial elements.
Visitors can reach the memorial by walking from the central Plaza Aníbal Pinto, with several local bus routes stopping within 200 meters.
The statue forms part of a larger sculptural ensemble that includes representations of Spanish conquistadors, Chilean soldiers, and a machi performing ceremonial rituals.
