Puerta de Chihuahua, Steel monument at the south entrance of Chihuahua, Mexico

Puerta de Chihuahua is a 43-metre, 500-tonne red-orange steel sculpture at the south entrance of Chihuahua on Federal Highway 45, the road to Delicias. Its left side is a tall column of flat parallel steel strips that curve over into an arch; from the arch a second column of rectangular blocks steps diagonally down to the right.

Inaugurated in 1997 at the south entrance of Chihuahua on Federal Highway 45, the road to Delicias, the sculpture was the first work by Chihuahuan artist Enrique Carbajal, known as Sebastián, in his native state. Its structural design was by engineer Pedro Hernández, and it was transported disassembled from Mexico City.

The monument brings together three architectural ideas: a pyramid base that honors mestizo roots, geometric shapes that reference pre-Hispanic civilizations, and an arch that represents Spanish colonial missions.

The monument stands at the south entrance of Chihuahua on Federal Highway 45, the Chihuahua-Delicias road, at latitude 28.5927° N, longitude 105.9608° W. It is reached by car along this highway; the structure is 43 meters tall, so it is visible from a distance as a landmark for the southern approach to the city.

The sculpture was transported disassembled from Mexico City; at the start of the journey, five or six patrol cars stopped the sculptor for alleged traffic violations. Sebastián called his friend General Ramón Bueno, and after a phone conversation between the general and two officers who were his countrymen, the same patrols escorted Carbajal to the highway exit.
