Monumento a la Constitución de 1812, Colonial monument in Comayagua, Honduras.

The Constitution Monument stands 7.6 meters tall in neoclassical style, featuring a central column in the Plaza de la Merced of Comayagua.

Built in 1813 during Spanish colonial rule, this monument marks the implementation of the 1812 Constitution in the Honduras province.

The monument represents the transition from colonial to republican times and stands in front of La Merced Church, the oldest religious building in Honduras.

The monument underwent restoration in 2000 through Spanish Cooperation efforts as part of the revitalization project of Comayagua's Historic Center.

In 1845, former Head of State Joaquin Rivera faced execution by firing squad at this location, adding historical weight to the monument.
