Monumento a Bernardo O'Higgins, Bronze equestrian statue in Plaza de la Ciudadanía, Santiago, Chile.
The monument features Bernardo O'Higgins mounted on horseback, riding over a fallen Spanish royalist soldier during the Battle of Rancagua.
French sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse created this memorial, which was inaugurated on May 19, 1872, under the presidency of Federico Errázuriz Zañartu.
Four marble bas-reliefs on the pedestal display important moments from O'Higgins's life, including the Battle of El Roble and his abdication from power.
The monument stands in front of La Moneda Palace, serving as a central point for national ceremonies and patriotic celebrations throughout the year.
In 1978, the statue was temporarily relocated to house O'Higgins's remains in an underground crypt as part of the Altar de la Patria project.
