Monumento al Inmaculado Corazón de María, Religious monument in Magdalena del Mar, Peru
The Monumento al Inmaculado Corazón de María is a religious statue located on a square in Magdalena del Mar depicting the Virgin Mary. The structure features a white marble figure supported by three tall columns that form a geometric base.
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 is situated at a central intersection that is easy to locate and accessible by public transportation. The square provides space to walk around and view the structure from different angles.
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.
