Manco Capac statue in La Victoria, Bronze statue in La Victoria, Peru
The stone pedestal holds a bronze figure of Manco Capac, who stands upright with a staff while pointing toward the horizon with his right hand.
The monument, inaugurated on April 5, 1926, represents a gift from the Japanese community to Peru during the celebration of its independence centennial in 1921.
The statue features Andean animal sculptures and relief carvings that illustrate the narrative of Manco Capac, the first ruler of the Inca civilization.
The monument stands at the center of Plaza Manco Capac, which serves as a meeting point for residents and connects several main streets in La Victoria district.
The Japanese colony selected Manco Capac as the subject due to their identification with the sun-based cultural elements of Inca civilization.
