Obelisco de Campo Grande
Obelisco de Campo Grande, Historical monument in Campo Grande, Brazil
The Obelisco de Campo Grande is a white stone monument located at the intersection of Avenida Afonso Pena and Rua José Antônio Pereira. The structure rises approximately 9 meters tall and serves as a clear reference point in the city center.
The obelisk was inaugurated on August 26, 1933, under Mayor Ytrio Corrêa da Costa's administration. The monument marked the city limits at that time and was erected during the first agricultural fair of the city.
The monument displays a portrait of José Antônio Pereira with an inscription honoring the city founders. Visitors can understand at this central location what this place means to the local community.
The monument sits at a central intersection and is easy to reach on foot from downtown. The site receives special lighting during certain awareness campaigns, making it worth visiting at different times of the year.
The monument was the first cultural asset in Campo Grande to receive legal protection from demolition. This recognition in 1975 made it a pioneer of heritage protection in the city.
