Monumento a Bento Gonçalves, Bronze equestrian sculpture in Avenida João Pessoa, Porto Alegre, Brazil.

Monumento a Bento Gonçalves is a bronze sculpture of a general mounted on horseback in Porto Alegre. The figure stands on a tall pedestal at Avenida João Pessoa and displays detailed craftsmanship with sculpted horse musculature and an upright rider posture.

In 1934, a competition chose Antônio Caringi's design for a monument to General Bento Gonçalves, to stand near Ponte da Azenha, where the Farroupilha Revolution began. Caringi, then studying in Munich, returned to Brazil, won, and built the work in Germany. It was inaugurated on 15 January 1936 in Parque Farroupilha, and moved in 1941 to Praça Piratini.

The equestrian figure is General Bento Gonçalves, leader of the Farroupilha Revolution. The monument was unveiled on 15 January 1936, the closing day of Porto Alegre's centenary celebrations of that revolt, with generals Flores da Cunha and Parga unveiling it before mayor Alberto Bins and governor José Antônio Flores da Cunha.

The monument sits at a major street intersection and is easy to reach by public transportation. The location is within walking distance of parks and other sights, making it convenient to visit while exploring the neighborhood.

The base of the monument carries words from a statement made in 1835, preserving the political ideals of that era. Many visitors overlook this inscribed text, which offers a direct connection to what the leader believed.
