Monument to General Osório, Military monument sculpture in Praça da Alfândega, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The Monument to General Osório features a bronze equestrian statue positioned on a granite base surrounded by a water mirror in downtown Porto Alegre.
In 1929, sculptor Hildegardo Leão Veloso won the competition to create this monument, which was inaugurated on August 7, 1933 with celebrations.
The monument displays inscriptions of General Osório's quotes about duty and civilization, reflecting Brazilian military values and national identity.
Located at coordinates -30.0299, -51.23088, the monument stands in a central plaza accessible to pedestrians and near public transportation stops.
A severe storm in 1966 knocked down the statue, requiring complete restoration before returning it to its original position.
