Monumento a Juana Azurduy, Bronze independence monument at Plaza del Correo, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The monument stands 16 meters tall, featuring Juana Azurduy holding a sword in her left hand while carrying a baby on her back.

The monument was inaugurated in 2015 by presidents Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Evo Morales, with Bolivia contributing one million dollars to its construction.

The statue incorporates elements of indigenous heritage, including a traditional aguayo fabric for carrying children and clothing inspired by native American wool patterns.

Located near the Centro Cultural Kirchner, the monument weighs 25 tons and required 45 craftspeople working for three years to complete.

The base design represents a pyramid influenced by Tiahuanaco architecture, while the right hand extends in a protective gesture toward the child and people.
