General Manuel Belgrano, bronze statue in Belgrano, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The General Manuel Belgrano monument stands in Plaza Manuel Belgrano in the Belgrano neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. It consists of a red granite base topped by a life-size bronze statue of Belgrano, who faces Avenida Juramento. Bronze reliefs on the front and back of the base carry inscriptions.

The monument was inaugurated in 1961, the work of Argentine sculptor Héctor Rocha. It honours General Manuel Belgrano (Buenos Aires, 1770–1820), a lawyer, economist and military leader in the independence war who created the Argentine flag. A commemorative plaque at its foot, dated 25 May 1910, records an earlier tribute by the people of Belgrano.

The monument connects to the creation of Argentina's flag and the independence struggle of the 1800s in the minds of visitors. It functions as a gathering place where people come to honor the nation's founding moments.

The monument stands inside Plaza Manuel Belgrano, in the Belgrano neighbourhood, with the bronze figure facing Avenida Juramento. The commemorative plaque honouring the people of Belgrano sits at the foot of the pedestal, dated 25 May 1910. The bronze reliefs are on the front and back faces of the red granite base, so walk around it to read both.

The bronze reliefs on the pedestal's front and back carry inscriptions: "Creador de la Bandera Argentina" and "Vencedor de Las Piedras, Tucumán y Salta", while the rear panels note that Belgrano promoted industry, arts, agriculture, and navigation and insurance on the Río de la Plata. A plaque at the foot, dated 25 May 1910, honours him on behalf of the people of Belgrano.
