Monumento al Inmaculado Corazón de María, Religious monument in Magdalena del Mar, Peru

The Monumento al Inmaculado Corazón de María is a 6.5-metre white statue of the Virgin Mary, carved by Grocio Escudero Oliveros of Chacas, set on a pedestal of three 12-metre columns arranged in an equilateral triangle. The columns represent the first three mysteries of the Rosary and the Trinity. The statue bears the Sacred Heart and holds a metal rosary in her left hand.

The monument was completed in 1956, but transport and installation challenges caused it to remain in storage for many years. It finally received its current location in the 1990s after these obstacles were resolved.

The square around the monument has become a place where the local Catholic community gathers to honor Mary. It serves as a spiritual focal point for residents and pilgrims visiting the Lima district.

The monument stands on its own small square at the junction of Avenida Brasil and Avenida del Ejército, where Bajada Brasil begins its descent toward the Costa Verde beaches and the Pacific. The three columns rise twelve metres each, so the statue is best viewed from across the square rather than directly at its base.

The site gained international attention in 2018 when a high-ranking Catholic official visited the monument and prayed there. This event made it a notable pilgrimage destination in the region.
