Obelisco de Campo Grande, Historical monument in Campo Grande, Brazil

The white stone obelisk stands 9 meters tall at the intersection of Avenida Afonso Pena and Rua José Antônio Pereira in Campo Grande.

The obelisk was inaugurated on August 26, 1933, during the administration of Mayor Ytrio Corrêa da Costa to mark the city limits and first agricultural fair.

The monument displays an effigy of José Antônio Pereira on its main facade with an inscription honoring the city founders of Campo Grande.

The structure serves as a reference point for orientation in the city center and receives special green lighting during eye health awareness campaigns in May.

This monument became the first cultural asset in Campo Grande to receive legal protection against demolition through Law No. 100 in September 1975.
