Statua antropofica, Monument in Plaza de Armas, Trujillo, Peru
A three-tiered marble monument stands in the center of Plaza de Armas, featuring sculptures representing art, science, commerce, and health at its base.
The Freedom Monument was inaugurated on July 4, 1929, during the presidency of Augusto B. Leguia, commemorating Trujillo's independence declaration of December 29, 1820.
German sculptor Edmund Moeller created this baroque revival monument after winning a competition among 104 international design submissions in 1921.
The monument serves as a central meeting point in Plaza de Armas, where visitors gather to observe annual celebrations and cultural events.
Three robust statues in the middle section depict the transition from oppression to liberation through figures in different poses and expressions.
