Monumento a La Constitución de El Salvador

Monumento a La Constitución de El Salvador, Constitutional monument in San Salvador, El Salvador.

The Monumento a La Constitución de El Salvador, known as La Chulona, is a sculpture of a woman representing justice, her eyes closed rather than blindfolded to signal impartiality. She holds a sword in one hand and scales in the other; the figure stands about 2.85 metres tall and weighs around 1,000 pounds. It rises on an exposed-concrete pedestal fixed with stainless-steel bolts at the Constitución roundabout, Boulevard Constitución at San Antonio Abad Street.

The monument was inaugurated in 1990 and marks the establishment of the 1983 Constitution during the Peace Accords negotiations in El Salvador. It stands as a symbol of constitutional renewal at a pivotal moment in the nation's history.

Locals call the figure "La Chulona," and the nickname has spread to nearby businesses, including brothels that use her image. The monument also gives its name to the roundabout and boulevard, and a plaque at its foot quotes Article 1 of the Constitution: "El Salvador reconoce a la persona humana como el origen y el fin de la actividad del Estado."

The monument stands on the Constitución roundabout where Bulevar Constitución meets Calle San Antonio Abad. City buses on routes 22, 26, 46, 46-B and 46-C serve the spot. The 2004 tunnel works added ramps for people with disabilities, new corner signage and pedestrian crossings, and the roundabout floor was polished.

The statue was taken off its pedestal for the first time since 1990 in early 2004, when the tunnel under the roundabout was built. A hydraulic crane lifted it in under two hours, with the right arm braced against the weight of the sword, and it was trucked to Rubén Martínez's own workshop in Los Planes de Renderos, where restoration took about three months.
