Monumento a Marechal Deodoro da Fonseca, Historic monument in Centro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

A bronze equestrian statue mounted on a granite pedestal stands 23 meters tall and weighs 850 tons at Praça Deodoro.

The monument, inaugurated in November 1937, holds the remains of Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca, who led Brazil's transition from monarchy to republic in 1889.

Bronze reliefs on the pedestal display important Brazilian figures including Rui Barbosa, Quintino Bocaiúva, and journalists who supported the republican movement.

The monument sits at the intersection of multiple streets in Centro, surrounded by a square base with six stone steps on each side.

Four elevated pillars at the corners feature bronze sculptural groups representing Naval officers and republican personalities from Brazilian history.
