Monumento a la Revolución, War memorial in San Benito district, San Salvador, El Salvador
The monument features a tall nude male figure constructed from stones collected from various regions of El Salvador, standing at the end of Revolution Avenue.
Built in 1955 during Colonel Oscar Osorio's presidency, the memorial commemorates the revolutionary movement of December 14, 1948, which defeated General Salvador Castaneda Castro.
The sculpture was created by Mexican artist Claudio Cevallos and his Salvadoran wife Violeta Bonilla, who studied under muralist Diego Rivera.
Visitors can access and examine the monument details free of charge through the Museum of Modern Art of El Salvador entrance.
The monument includes an additional sculpture called 'Allegory to the 1950 Constitution' by Costa Rican artist Francisco Zuñiga, depicting figures supporting a woman covered in the Salvadoran flag.
