Monumento a la Libertad Americana, Marble monument in Plaza de Armas, Santiago, Chile.

The Monumento a la Libertad Americana is a marble sculptural group standing in the Plaza de Armas of Santiago. It shows a woman breaking the chains of an enslaved Indigenous American, and its pedestal carries four bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the Liberating Expedition of Peru, the Battle of Ayacucho and Simón Bolívar.

The monument was commissioned by a diplomat in 1827 and designed by an Italian sculptor, then installed at its current location in 1836. It was created following South America's independence movements to commemorate those pivotal historical events.

The four relief panels on the base show scenes from South American independence movements and the struggles for freedom across the continent. Visitors can read these stone stories that capture the important moments and leaders who shaped the region's independence.

The monument stands at the centre of the Plaza de Armas, Santiago's main square, on the axis between the cathedral and the Casa Colorada side. It is a freestanding marble group on a pedestal, not set in water, so visitors can walk around it and read the four relief panels at close range. The square is a public space open at all hours.

The monument's marble group shows a woman breaking the chains of an Indigenous American woman, an allegory of liberty rather than a classical deity. The four bas-reliefs on the pedestal depict the Liberating Expedition of Peru, the Battle of Ayacucho and Simón Bolívar.
