Puerta de Chihuahua, Steel monument at Federal Route 45 north, Chihuahua, Mexico
The Puerta de Chihuahua rises 43 meters high and consists of 500 tons of orange-colored steel forming geometric shapes and architectural elements.
Built in 1997, this structure represents the first sculpture created by artist Enrique Carbajal, known as Sebastian, in his home state of Chihuahua.
The monument integrates three architectural elements: a pyramidal base symbolizing mestizo heritage, geometric shapes referencing pre-Hispanic peoples, and an arch representing Spanish missions.
The structure functions as a sundial, with specific openings positioned to frame views of the modern city of Chihuahua.
The monument design follows Kepler's perspective of the equilateral triangle, marking both the city's foundation date and traditional solar rituals.
