Monument to Duque de Caxias, Military monument in Praça Princesa Isabel, São Paulo, Brazil.
The bronze statue of Duque de Caxias stands 16 meters tall on a granite pedestal reaching a total height of 48 meters.
Victor Brecheret created this monument in the 1940s following a decree by President Getúlio Vargas to honor the patron of the Brazilian army.
The monument represents Duque de Caxias as a military leader who maintained order during several conflicts in nineteenth-century Brazil.
The monument stands at a central location in São Paulo, accessible by multiple public transportation routes and open to visitors every day.
In 1991, a soldier damaged the monument during a protest about military wages, leading to subsequent repairs and increased security measures.
