Homenaje a la cordialidad argentino-uruguaya, Bronze monument in Parque Lezama, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The central column of the monument rises 15 meters high and 4 meters in diameter, featuring celestial constellations on its surface along with indigenous and conquistador figures.

Uruguay presented this monument to Buenos Aires in 1936 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city's first foundation by Pedro de Mendoza.

The monument displays a female figure holding the Montevideo coat of arms, representing the offering and brotherhood between Argentina and Uruguay through maritime symbolism.

The monument stands near the intersection of Martin Garcia Avenue and Irala Street, accessible through multiple public transportation routes in the San Telmo neighborhood.

The bronze used in construction came from an old cruiser ship and melted 10-cent coins donated by Montevideo schools.
